ગુજરાતીસભાશિક્ષક ૧૦:૪
જ્યારે તારો અધિકારી તારા પર ગુસ્સે થાય તો તું ત્યાંથી નાસી ન જા, કારણ કે નમ્ર થવાથી ભારે ગુસ્સો પણ સમી જાય છે.
हिन्दीसभोपदेशक १०:४
यदि हाकिम का क्रोध तुझ पर भड़के, तो अपना स्थान न छोड़ना, क्योंकि धीरज धरने से बड़े-बड़े पाप रुकते हैं।

In context

2A wise man’s heart is at his right hand, but a fool’s heart at his left.

3Yes also when the fool walks by the way, his understanding fails him, and he says to everyone that he is a fool.

4If the spirit of the ruler rises up against you, don’t leave your place; for gentleness lays great offenses to rest.

5There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, the sort of error which proceeds from the ruler.

6Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in a low place.
