Using "to"
So i know that you use "to" before a verb in the infinitive or when you're talking about a place or destination.
So i was on the internet and i saw this sentence"Better look ahead than turn around"
Wouldnt it be "better TO look ahead than TO turn around"? do both mean the same ? im guessing the first one is common in spoken english is that it ? is there a rule im missing or something ?

They mean the same. 'To' is optional in this structure. However, with 'better', the 'to' would be better; it would save the reader thinking twice.
