Today's Subhashita.

दानेन  भोगी भवति मेधावी वृद्धसेवया  |
अहिंसया च दीर्घायुरिति प्राहुर्मनीषिणः ||

अर्थ -      दूरदर्शी और विद्वान व्यक्तियों ने सच ही कहा है  कि अपनी धन संपत्ति का सुपात्रों को दान करने से ही कोई व्यक्ति उस का सही उपभोग करता है , और वृद्ध जनों का आदर और उनकी  सेवा करने से  व्यक्ति मेधावी (बुद्धिमान ) हो जाते हैं, और अहिंसा का अनुसरण  करने से मनुष्य दीर्घायु होता है |

Daanen bhogi bhavati medhaavi vruddhasevayaa.
Ahimsayaa cha deerghaayuriti praahurmaneeshinah.

Daanen = by giving donations.     Bhogi = enjoyer of one's earthly possessions,    Bhavati = becomes.
Medhavi = intelligent.    Vruddhasevayaa = respecting and serving one' elders.    Ahimsayaa = nonviolence
cha = and.   Deerghaayuriti =  Deerghaayu + iti.     Derghaayu =long lived.     Iti = thus.  
Praahurmaneeshinah = praahuh + maneeshinah.     Praahuh = they say.    Maneeshinah = wise persons.

i.e.      Noble and righteous persons with foresight have rightly proclaimed that using one's wealth by giving donations to needy and deserving persons is the best way to enjoy the wealth, and respecting and serving the aged persons makes a person intelligent and observing nonviolence makes a person long lived.
