Beggars breed and rich men feed.

Beggars can never be bankrupts.

Beggars can't be choosers.

Beggars fear no rebellion.

Beggars mounted ride their horses to death.

Behind every mountain lies a vale.

Behind the cross stands the devil.

Better a bird in the hand than ten in the air.

Better a blind horse than an empty halter.

Better a blush in the face than a spot in the heart.

Better a dog fawn on you than bite you.

Better a friend than money to spend.

Better a leg broken than the neck.

Better afield with the birds than hanging on lords.

Better be carried by an ass than thrown by a horse.

Better beg than steal.

Better belly burst than good victuals spoil.

Better have a dog for your friend than your enemy.

Better keep peace than make peace.

Better lose your labour than your time in idleness.

Better on the heath with an old cart that at sea in a new ship.

Better once in heaven than ten times at the gate.

Better one eye-witness than ten hearsay witnesses.

Better poor on land that rich at sea.

Better poor with honour than rich with shame.
