\"Half a loaf is better than none.\"
I think this means that if you have something that may not be what you would have liked or could have had more of it is better than having nothing. You could be worse off and may not have anything at all. It also means that you shouldn't complain about what you have because there is always someone else worse off.

One who can not dance blames the floor.
***
I think this means that some who can not do something blames something or someone else that's falt it is not. For the floor is not some thing that can be blamed for how can it be the floors fault. A floor can not dance. If you can not do something look in the mirror not though it.

Quote:
These both mean the same, and mean that someone that cannot do something blames it on something else to hide their embarrasment/shame.
