Better be in debt than in shame.
Better late than never.
Better safe than sorry.
It is better to be the hammer than the anvil.
Better beloved than admired.
The fewer the words, the better the prayer.
Better no spoon than no soup.
It is better to be envied than pitied.
Better cross-eyed than blind.
Better lie than gossip.
Credit is better than wealth.
A lock is better than suspicion.
Better be quarrelling than lonesome.
It is better to exist unknown to the law.
Strife is better than loneliness.
It is better to be ignorant than mistaken.
Virtue is better than wealth.
Better in the grave than be a slave.
Seeing is better than hearing.
Better bend than break.
It is better to be loved than feared.
