Better there should be too much than too little, [231]

Better they should say, “There he ran away,” than “There he died,” [231]

Better to be a free bird than a captive king, [349]

Better twice measured than once wrong, [350]

Better twice remembered than once forgotten, [324]

Better walk before a hen than behind an ox, [39]

Better walk on wooden legs than be carried on a wooden bier, [351]

Better walk unshackled in a green meadow than be bound to a thornbush, [349]

Better weak beer than an empty cask, [350]

Better where birds sing than where irons ring, [301]
