Balinese
Cara idup padine. Di puyungne jegjeg. Dimisinne nguntul.
English
PROVERB: Like the life of rice. When empty it stand up. When full it looks down.
This implies that a know-it-al person who talks a lot may not actually know much - i.e. have an empty head. But a wise person, who looks down at his feet all of the time, like a mature head of rice, may know a lot , but may say little. However, he is the wiser of the two.
