Als / Than Ausrede / Excuse Besser / Better Keiner / None Schlecht / Bad
Bad excuses are worse than none.
It is better to offer no excuse than a bad one.
Better not to exist than live basely.
There's really nothing better than a hunt ball.
There are better starters than me but I'm a strong finisher.
Two heads are better than none.
Better not be at all than not be noble.
It is better to have loafed and lost, than never to have loafed at all.
Better never than late.
