Better one living word than a hundred dead ones.

Better something than nothing at all.

Better to go to bed supperless than run in debt.

Better, There he goes, than There he hangs.

Between a woman's "Yes" and "No" there is no room for the point of a needle.

Between neighbours' gardens a hedge is not amiss.

Between the hand and the lip the soup may be spilt.

Between wording and working is a long road.

Between wrangling and disputing truth is lost.

Betwixt two stools the doup fas down.

Beware of laughing hosts and weeping priests.

Beware of men who flourish hereditary honors.

Big churches, little saints.

Birds of prey do not sing.

Bitter pills are gilded.

Bitter pills may have wholesome effects.

Black cows give white milk.

Borrowing does well only once.

Both legs in the stocks or only one, 'tis all the same.

Bought wisdom is best.

Bought wit is best.

Boys avoid the bees that stung 'em.

Bread in one hand, a stone in the other.

Build golden bridges for the flying foe.

Building castles in the air.
