બેઠક Bethak

જી, ભણીએ ભલાંતે, નગુણાને પણ જી;

jī, bhaṇīē bhalāṁtē, naguṇānē paṇa jī;

Literally
Say 'yes, sir' to the good, and say 'yes, sir' to the ungrateful too;
What it means
One should treat everyone with politeness and respect, as even ungrateful people serve to highlight the value of the virtuous.

Also said as

  • નગુણા ન હોત જગમાં, તો ભલા સંભરત કીં.
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

Heard it differently, or know we've got the sense wrong? Tell us — that is exactly the kind of correction this needs.
