When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

The better, the better.

В таких случаях, насколько я помню, тире не используется, а пишется, напр.:
The more, the better,
the faster, the better,
и т. д.

The best breeds the best

You could also try:
1. Better breeds better - it's closer to the original but sounds a bit strange.

2. The best encourages the best.

the better we do the better it is

The better the better (with or without the comma) sounds strange to my ear... I would expand it a little bit, something along these lines:
The better we do the better it is (or the better we are the better we do, etc.)
