Better unborn than untaught. Better the foot slip than the tongue. A bad bush is better than an open field. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Better the foot slip than the tongue. Better a finger off than aye wagging. A bad compromise is better than a good lawsuit. Better give a shilling than lend a half-crown. Better late than never. Lose a leg rather than life. An injury forgiven is better than an injury revenged. Better early than late. Better be born lucky than rich. Better a glorious death than a shameful life. Better to ask the way than to go astray. Better deny at once than promise long. Half a loaf is better than no bread. Better the last smile than the first laughter. Better die standing than live kneeling. Better to do well than to say well. Better a lean peace than a fat victory. Better the devil you know than the devil you don't know. Better an open enemy than a false friend. Better an egg today than a hen tomorrow. The best is often the enemy of the good. Love and cough cannot be hid. No herb will cure love. Love me little, love me long. Love me, love my dog. Love in a cottage. Love conquers all. Love will find a way. Love lives in cottages as well as in courts. It is love that makes the world go around. Love is ageless. Love is not found in the market. No herb will cure love. Love is stronger than death. Love is blind. Love laughs at locksmiths. Love makes all hearts gentle. Any port in a storm. Curiosity killed the cat. Men may meet but mountains never. Men are blind in their own cause. People who live in glass houses should not throw stones. Tarred with the same brush. A small leak will sink a great ship. Little pigeons can carry great messages. Little children, little sorrow, big children, big sorrow. A little pot is soon hot. Little and sweet. A little string will tie a title bird. Light gains make heavy purses. Little by little and bit by bit. Little strokes fell great oaks. Boys will be boys. The smallest axe may fell the hugest oak. Manners make the man. A child may have too much of his mother's blessing. Honey is sweet but the bee stings. Honey is not for the ass's mouth. Slow but sure. Slow and steady wins the race. Slow help is no help. A honey tongue, a heart of gall. Betwixt and between. Between promising and performing a man may marry his daughter. There is many a slip "twixt the cup and the lip. Little thieves are hanged, but great ones escape. Little things please little minds. The mill cannot grind with the water that is past. A still tongue makes a wise head. Less haste, more speed. Measure for measure. Hares may pull dead lions by the beard. Revenge is sweet. It takes all sorts to make a world. A little bird told me. Opinions differ. Many wish, but few will. Many a fine dish has nothing on it. Many stumble at a straw and leap over a block. Many kiss the hand they wish to cut off. Plenty is no plague. A lot of water has flown under the bridge since that time. Much gold, much care. knows much who knows how to hold his tongue. Great cry and little wool. Great boast, small roast. Much ado about nothing. Much will have more. Can the leopard change his spots?
