બેઠક Bethak

પૈસામાં કાંઈ પુરા નહીં, ને અક્કલમાં કાંઈ અધુરા નહીં.

paisāmāṁ kāṁī purā nahīṁ, nē akkalamāṁ kāṁī adhurā nahīṁ.

Literally
Not whole in money, but not lacking in wisdom.
What it means
Said of a person who is poor in financial wealth but rich in intelligence.

Also said as

  • પૈસાવાળાની બકરી મુઈ, તે આખા ગામે જાણ્યું;
ગુજરાતી કહેવતસંગ્રહ (Gujarati Kahevat Sangrah) (1921) · 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.
