ગુજરાતીનીતિવચનો ૨૮:૨૧
પક્ષપાત કરવો એ યોગ્ય નથી, તેમ જ કોઈ માણસ રોટલીના ટુકડાને માટે ગુનો કરે તે પણ સારું નથી.
हिन्दीनीतिवचन २८:२१
पक्षपात करना अच्छा नहीं; और यह भी अच्छा नहीं कि रोटी के एक टुकड़े के लिए मनुष्य अपराध करे।

In context

19One who works his land will have an abundance of food; but one who chases fantasies will have his fill of poverty.

20A faithful man is rich with blessings; but one who is eager to be rich will not go unpunished.

21To show partiality is not good, yet a man will do wrong for a piece of bread.

22A stingy man hurries after riches, and doesn’t know that poverty waits for him.

23One who rebukes a man will afterward find more favor than one who flatters with the tongue.
