Today's Subhashita.

आचारः प्रथमो  धर्मः इत्येतद्विदुषां  वचः  |
तस्माद्र्रक्षेत् सदाचारं प्राणेभ्योSपि विशेषतः ||
                              - ( संस्कृत सुभाषितानि )
भावार्थ -    दूसरों के प्रति अच्छा आचरण करना हमारा सर्व प्रथम
धर्म (कर्तव्य) है, ऐसा विद्वज्ज्नों  का कहना है |   इस लिये हमें
सदाचार  की रक्षा (अनुपालन) हमें अपने प्राणों से भी अधिक करनी
चाहिये |

Aprathamo dharmah ityetadvidushaam vachh.
Tasmadrakshet sadaachaaram  praanebhyopi visheshatah.

Aachaarah = well established rules of good conduct.
Prathamo = foremost, first.   Dharmah = religious austerity.
Ityetadvidushaam = iti +etat + vidushaam.         Iti = it is.
Etat = this.       Vidushaam = noble and learned persons.
Vachah = said.    Tasmadrakshet = tasmaat +rakshethet.  
Tasmat = therefore.     Rakshet = should protect or guard.  
Sadaachaaram = good conduct.    Praanebhyopi = praanebhyo +
api.    Api = even..   Praanebhyo = breath of life.   Visheshatah =
especially.

i.e.      Noble and learned persons have proclaimed that good
conduct towards others is our first and foremost  religious duty.
Therefore, we should  protect (adhere to ) our good conduct even
more than our life.
