બેઠક Bethak

ડાહ્યા ભૂલે નહીં, ભૂલે ત્યારે ભીંત ભૂલે.

Literally
The wise do not make mistakes; when they do, they mistake a wall.
What it means
Said when an otherwise highly intelligent or capable person makes an incredibly obvious or massive mistake.
ગુજરાતી કહેવતસંગ્રહ (Gujarati Kahevat Sangrah) (1923) · read from the scan by machine — the Gujarati itself is unchecked · English is machine-made and nobody has checked it yet
