Better poor with honour than rich with shame, [300]

Better reap two days too soon than one too late, [332]

Better repair the gutter than the whole house, [283]

Better return half way than lose yourself, [301]

Better ride a good horse for a year, than an ass all your life, [301]

Better slip with the foot than with the tongue, [97]

Better something on the arm than all in the stomach, [351]

Better something than nothing at all, [136]

Better spare at the brim than at the bottom, [349]
