માળી રૂઠ્યો ફૂલ લેશે, કાંઈ ચોટલી તો નહીં લે.

māḷī rūṭhyō phūla lēśē, kāṁī cōṭalī tō nahīṁ lē.

Literally: If the gardener is angry, he will take the flowers, but he cannot take the tuft of hair on the head.
What it means: A powerful person can only deprive you of superficial privileges, but they cannot take away your core life or dignity.
