ગુજરાતીનીતિવચનો ૨૫:૨૭
વધુ પડતું મધ ખાવું સારું નથી, તેમ જ પોતાનું મહત્વ શોધવું એ કંઈ પ્રતિષ્ઠા નથી.
हिन्दीनीतिवचन २५:२७
जैसे बहुत मधु खाना अच्छा नहीं, वैसे ही आत्मप्रशंसा करना भी अच्छा नहीं।

In context

25Like cold water to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.

26Like a muddied spring and a polluted well, so is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked.

27It is not good to eat much honey, nor is it honorable to seek one’s own honor.

28Like a city that is broken down and without walls is a man whose spirit is without restraint.
