ગુજરાતીનીતિવચનો ૨૭:૨
બીજો માણસ તારાં વખાણ ભલે કરે, પણ તું તારે મુખે તારાં વખાણ ન કર; પારકા કરે તો ભલે, પણ તારા પોતાના હોઠ ન કરે.
हिन्दीनीतिवचन २७:२
तेरी प्रशंसा और लोग करें तो करें, परन्तु तू आप न करना; दूसरा तुझे सराहे तो सराहे, परन्तु तू अपनी सराहना न करना।

In context

1Don’t boast about tomorrow; for you don’t know what a day may bring.

2Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips.

3A stone is heavy, and sand is a burden; but a fool’s provocation is heavier than both.

4Wrath is cruel, and anger is overwhelming; but who is able to stand before jealousy?
