Today' Subhashita.

अविनीतः सुतो जातः कथं न दहनात्मकः |
विनीतस्तु सुतो जातः कथं न पुरुषोत्तमः ||   -\सुभषितरत्नाकर

अर्थ -      यदि किसी व्यक्ति का पुत्र  अविनीत  (असभ्य  और दुर्व्यवहार्
 करने वाला) हो तो इस पर कोई  आश्चर्य नहीं कि वह्  आग मे जलने के
समान कष्टदायी होता है  परन्तु यदि  उसका पुत्र   विनम्र और सुशिक्षित हो
तो  वह्  एक श्रेष्ट व्यक्ति  के रूप में  सम्मान प्राप्त करता है |

Avineetah suto jaatah katham na dahanaatmakah,
vineetastu suto jaatah katam na purushottamah

Avineetah =  ill-mannered, rude.     Suto = a son.   Jaatah = born.
Katham - how,  surprising.    Na = not.     Dahanaatmakah  =
being in a state of fire.      Vineetastu = educated and well behaved.
Purushottamah = excellent or a superior person.

i.e.       If the son of a person is ill-mannered , it is not surprising that
he feels like burning in a  fire. However, if his son is well behaved and
educated, he is honoured  like a superior person in the society.
