ગુજરાતીનીતિવચનો ૨૬:૧
જેમ ઉનાળાંમાં હિમ અને કાપણી કરતી વખતે વરસાદ કમોસમનો ગણાય તેમ મૂર્ખને સન્માન શોભતું નથી.
हिन्दीनीतिवचन २६:१
जैसा धूपकाल में हिम का, या कटनी के समय वर्षा होना, वैसा ही मूर्ख की महिमा भी ठीक नहीं होती।

In context

1Like snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honor is not fitting for a fool.

2Like a fluttering sparrow, like a darting swallow, so the undeserved curse doesn’t come to rest.

3A whip is for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the back of fools!
