Between saying and doing, many a pair of shoes is worn out.

Between the hand and the mouth the soup is spilt.

Between two cowards, he has the advantage who first detects the other.

Beware of "Had I but known."

Beware of a poor alchemist.

Beware of one who has nothing to lose.

Beware of the vinegar of sweet wine.

Beware of vinegar made of sweet wine.

Beware the person with nothing to lose.

Big flies break the spider's web.

Big mouthfuls often choke.

Blessed is the misfortune that comes alone.

Blessings brighten as they take their flight.

Blows are not given upon conditions.

Blue are the hills that are far away.

Boil not the pap before the child is born.

Boil stones in butter, and you may sip the broth.

Borderers are either thieves or murderers.

Borrowed garments never sit well.

Broad thongs may be cut from other men's leather.

Buy the bed of a great debtor.

By asking for the impossible, obtain the best possible.

By lamplight every country wench seems handsome.

By night all cats are black.

By their marks the bales are known.
