ઉત્તમ કારીગર બધું કામ પોતે જ કરે છે પણ મૂર્ખની પાસે કામ કરાવનાર વટેમાર્ગુને રોજે રાખનાર જેવો છે.
हिन्दीनीतिवचन २६:१०
जैसा कोई तीरन्दाज जो अकारण सब को मारता हो, वैसा ही मूर्खों या राहगीरों का मजदूरी में लगानेवाला भी होता है।

In context

8As one who binds a stone in a sling, so is he who gives honor to a fool.

9Like a thorn bush that goes into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of fools.

10As an archer who wounds all, so is he who hires a fool or he who hires those who pass by.

11As a dog that returns to his vomit, so is a fool who repeats his folly.

12Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
