Better be the head of the yeomanry than the tail of the gentry.
宁作自由民之首,不为贵族之尾。
Better deny at once than promise long.
轻诺必寡信。
Better die with honour than live with shame.
与其忍辱偷生,不如光荣而死。
better early than late.
宁早勿迟。
Better eye sore than all blind.
眼痛总比瞎眼好。
Better go to bed supperless than rise in debt.
宁可饿肚子,切莫去借债。
Better good neighbours near than relations far away.
远亲不如近邻。
Better half an egg than empty shell.
半只蛋也比空壳好。
Better is the neighbour’s hen than mine.
人莫知其苗之硕。
Better late than never.
迟做总比不做好。
