Als / Than Besser / Better Platz / Place
Better not be at all than not be noble.
It is better to be a has-been than a never-was.
I'm better than Olivier.
It is better to be honourable than be honoured.
Better never than late.
Death is better than slavery.
It is better we disintegrate in peace and not in pieces.
There are better starters than me but I'm a strong finisher.
It is better to laugh than cry.
