| Italian Proverb - B
Bad grass does not make good hay.Bad is the sack that will not bear patching.Bad is the wool that cannot be died.Bad news is the first to come.Be sure before you marry of a house wherein to tarry.Be the horse good or bad always wear your spurs.Beat the churl and he will be your friend.Believe a boaster as you would a liar.Below the navel there is neither religion nor truth.Bend the tree while it is young.Better a lean agreement than a fat sentence.Better a near neighbour than a distant cousin.Better an egg today than a hen tomorrow.Better be a bird of the wood than a bird in the cage.Better be the head of a cat than the tail of a lion.Better be the head of a lizard than the tail of a dragon.Better give than not to have to give.Better give the wool than the sheep.Better have an egg to-day than a hen to-morrow.Better have one bee than a host of flies.Better is an enemy to well.Better lose the saddle than the horse.Better once than never.Better slip with the foot than with the tongue.Better to ask than go astray.Better to fall from the window than the roof.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 the person with nothing to lose.Big flies break the spider's web.Big mouthfuls often choke.Blessed is the misfortune that comes alone.Blows are not given upon conditions.Borderers are either thieves or murderers.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. |
