To day's Subhashit.

निन्दन्तु नीति निपुणा यदि वा स्तुवन्तु
लक्ष्मी समाविशतु गच्छतु वा यथेष्टं
अद्द्यैव वा मरणमस्तु युगान्तरे वा
न्याय्यात्पथः प्रविचलन्ति पदं न धीरः

Nindantu neeti nipunaah yadi waa stuwantu
Lakshmi samaavishatu gachchatu waa yatheshtam
Addyeiwa waa maranmastu yugaantare waa
Nyaayayatpathh pravichalanti padam na dheerah.

i.e.  Persons who are learned and enduring never deviate from the path of righteousness whether they are criticized or praised  by persons well versed in diplomacy, or they become very rich or poor, or face imminent death or are likely to have a  long life.
