Better is a little with righteousness
Than great income [gained] with injustice.
Proverbs 16:8 AMP
Better.
The Hebrew word here for better is "towb" and appears 271 times in the Bible.
In Genesis 1:4, God looks at the light the He has created and says it is "towb".
Good.
Beautiful
Better
The light has appeared directly from God and carries His attributes, His righteousness.
Here in this proverb, what is good, beautiful, better is contingent on how it's been gained - with injustice or righteousness.
That includes the "how" but also the heart behind it. A heart of righteousness.
A heart right with God.
How we live.
