Better an empty purse than an empty head.
寧可錢袋癟，不要腦袋空。

Better an open enemy than a false friend.
明槍易躲，暗箭難防。

Better good neighbours near than relations far away.  
遠親不如近鄰。

Between the cup and the lip a morsel may slip.       
功虧一簣。
 
Between two stools one falls to the ground.
腳踏兩頭要落空。

Birds of a feather flock together.
物以類聚，人以群分。

Birth is much, but breeding is more.
出身固然重要，教養更且重要。

Be honest rather clever.    
誠實比聰明更要緊。
 
Being on sea, sail; being on land, settle.  
隨遇而安。

Believe not all that you see nor half what you hear.
眼見的不能全信，耳聞的也不能半信。

Be slow to promise and quick to perform.      
不輕諾，諾必果。

Be swift to hear, slow to speak.       
多聽少說。

Beware beginnings.    
慎始為上。
 
Big mouthfuls ofter choke.     
貪多嚼不爛。

Bind the sack before it be full.    
做事應適可而止。
