ખાવું તે જીવવાને વાસ્તે છે; જીવવું ખાવાને વાસ્તે નહી, પણ નેકી કરવાને વાસ્તે છે.

khāvuṁ tē jīvavānē vāstē chē; jīvavuṁ khāvānē vāstē nahī, paṇa nēkī karavānē vāstē chē.

Literally: Eating is for the sake of living; living is not for the sake of eating but for doing good.
What it means: Puts the two the right way round.
