બેઠક Bethak

પૈસામાં કાઈ પુરા નહીં, ને અક્કલમાં કાઈ અધુરા નહીં.

paisāmāṁ kāī purā nahīṁ, nē akkalamāṁ kāī adhurā nahīṁ.

Literally
No one is complete in wealth, and no one is deficient in intellect.
What it means
People are rarely satisfied with their money, but everyone is fully satisfied with their own intelligence.

Also said as

  • પૈસાવાળાની બકરી મુઈ, તે આખા ગામે જાણ્યું;
  • ગરીબની દીકરી મુઈ, તે કોઈએ જાણ્યું નહીં.
