Als / Than Besser / Better Heilen / Cure Verhütung / Prevention
Precaution is better than cure.
Prohibition is better than no liquor at all.
There are better starters than me but I'm a strong finisher.
Better never than late.
My kids are so much better parent than I was.
It is better to have loafed and lost, than never to have loafed at all.
It is better to live rich than to die rich.
It is better to learn late than never.
But better die than live mechanically a life that is a repetition of repetitions.
