Better mine than ours, [283]

Better no law, than law not enforced, [350]

Better on the heath with an old cart than at sea in a new ship, [301]

Better once in heaven than ten times at the gate, [301]

Better once than never, [97]

Better one-eyed than stone blind, [135], [232]

Better one eye-witness than ten hearsay witnesses, [300]

Better one living word than a hundred dead ones, [135]

Better one “Take this,” than two “I will give you,” [232], [281]

Better poor on land than rich at sea, [300]
