Bread in one hand, a stone in the other, [154]

Bread is better than the song of birds, [349]

Bring up a raven and he will peck out your eyes, [16], [145]

Broad thongs may be cut from other men’s leather, [91]

Broken friendship may be soldered but can never be made sound, [265]

Build golden bridges for the flying foe, [137]

But for all that the honest man has not got his purse, [10]

Butter spoils no meat, and moderation injures no cause, [398]

Buy the bed of a great debtor, [88]

Buy when it is market time, [160]
