To day's Subhashit.

निन्दन्तु नीतिनिपुणा यदि वा स्तुवन्तु                       Nindantu neetinipunaah yadi vaa stuvantu
          लक्ष्मी समाविशतु गच्छतु वा यथेष्टम्  |           Lakshmi samaavishatu gacchatu vaa yatheshthm.
अद्द्येव वा मरण्मस्तु  युगान्तेरेवा                               addyeva vaa maranmastu yugaantare vaa
          न्यायात्पथः प्रविचलन्ति पदं न धीराः. ||             Nyaayaatpathh pravichalanti padm na dheerh..

Nindanti =criticises rredicules .    Neeti =prudence, morality, ethics.    Nipuna = an expert.
neetinipunaa = persons versed inethics, morality and prudence,     yadi = if.      vaa =or.
Stuvantu = praises.     Lakshmi = riches.     Samaavishatu =acquired, comes.      Gacchatu = goes.
yatheshtam = in plenty.      Adyey = to day itself.      Maranmastu = maran = Asti.      Maran = death.
Astu =-let  it be.   Yugantere = after ages. (A yuga is a period of  of thousands of years in Hindu mythology,There are four yugas called Satya, Treta, Dwaapar and Kali, which succeed in that order. So yugaantar means passing into another Yuga i.e. a very long number of years.)
Nyaatpathh = nyaayaat + pathh .     Nyaayaat =  of justice.    Pathh = path, road.
Pravichalanti = deviate, disturbed.   Padam = tread upon,     Dheer - a brave, intelligent and patient person.

i.e.        Brave, intelligent and patient persons do not deviate from the path of  justice and it is immaterial for them if during this process they are criticised or praised, become  rich or poor, or may face death just now  or after a 'yugaantar' (much later)..

(The above Subhashit is in the praise of just, honest and righteous persons, who do not change their righteous ways of serving the society even on the face of adversities or even imminent death.)
