    there is no english proverb here.

    just explain you with an example. If you have friend and you met another new friend. then if you give preference to your new friend than the old friend. that is the meaning of this proverb

    Paddavadu yeppudu cheydda vadu kadu - telugu

    The person who suffers is not a bad person

    for example:A person is getting scolding from his boss though the person didnt do any mistake and the person kept silent.

    So the person is the sufferer and as he is a good person so he kept silent
