भूतानां प्राणिनः श्रेष्ठाः प्राणिनां बुद्धिजीवनः
    बुद्धिमत्सु नराः श्रेष्ठा नराणां सात्त्विकाः स्मृताः |
सात्त्विकेषु च विद्वांसः विद्वत्सु कृतबुद्धयः

- मनुस्मृति – श्रेष्ठः

In this world of beings, the animals are better than other (plants, microbes etc..). Among the animals, those who think are better. Man is the best among those animals that can think. Among all men, those who follow honest (and other virtues) are the best. Among honest people, those who are knowledgeable are better. Among those who have knowledge, only those who practice are better than the rest. Among such people, the do-er is the best. It is no use just talking about knowledge. Among all the do-ers, the person who has the realization of the oneness in the universe is the best.

- Manu Smriti

मनु महाराज कहते है कि
———————————–
प्राज्ञं कुलीनं शूरं च दक्षं दातारमेव च।
कृतज्ञः धुतिमंत च कष्टमाहुररि बुधाः।।
हिंदी में भावार्थ-बुद्धिमान, कुलीन, शूरवीर, चतुर, धर्मात्मा, धैर्यवान, तथा कृतज्ञ व्यक्ति पर विजय पाना कठिन है। ऐसे व्यक्ति से संधि कर लेना चाहिए।
वर्तमान संदर्भ में संपादकीय-अनेक अवसर पर क्रोध अथवा विवाद के कारण आदमी अपनी बुद्धि पर नियंत्रण खो बैठता है और यही उसके लिये आपत्ति का कारण बनता है। क्रोध या निराशा की स्थिति क्षणिक और जीवन बहुत लंबा होता है। इसलिये अवसाद के क्षणों में भी बुद्धिमान, वीर, चतुर, धर्मात्मा तथा धैर्य धारण करने वाले व्यक्ति से विवाद मोल नहीं लेना चाहिये। जीवन में पता नहीं कम किस के सहयोग की आवश्यकता पड़ जाये। क्रोध और निराशा के क्षणिक आवेग में सुयोग्य व्यक्ति से बैर लेना भविष्य में उससे मिलने वाले सहयोग की अपेक्षाओं को समाप्त करना है। जब कोई आपत्ति आती है तब उससे निपटने के लिये योजनाबद्ध तरीके से निपटने के लिये कार्यक्रम बनाना, साधन जुटाना तथा नियत समय पर कार्यवाही करने के लिये जिस बौद्धिक चातुर्य की आवश्यकता होती है उसकी पूर्ति के लिये सुयोग्य व्यक्तियों का साथ होना जरूरी है। ऐसे लोगों के साथ हमेशा अच्छा व्यवहार रखना चाहिये।
अनेक लोगों को यह भ्रम होता है कि धनी, प्रतिष्ठित तथा बाहूबली लोगों के साथ मित्रता होने से ही सारे संकट दूर हो जायेंगे तो यह उनका भ्रम है। कुछ लोग तो ऐसे लोगों की संगत में शांतिप्रिय, धैयैवान तथा बुद्धिमान लोगों से बैर भी लेते हैं पर जब विपत्ति आती है तो उन्हें ऐसे ही लोगों की आवश्यकता होती है। यही कारण है कि जीवन में अपने मित्र और सहयोगियों के संग्रह करते समय इस बात को अवश्य देखना चाहिये कि वह न केवल सुयोग्य हों बल्कि समय आपने पर मददगार भी हों। इसके लिये उनके साथ हमेशा सौहार्दपूर्ण संबंध रखें। गुणवान आदमी से संपर्क रखने  से अपने अन्दर भी उस जैसे गुण विकसित होता  हैं।

The results of the deeds of cruelty (against dharma the code of life) are not immediately apparent unlike the benefits of domesticating a cow (you get milk on day one).
