Subhashita (literally, a good couplet)

पुस्तकेषु हि या विद्या परहस्तेषु यद् धनम् |
उत्त्पनेषु च कार्येषु न सा विद्या न तद् धनम् ||


Translation: 
Knowledge that is confined within books and wealth that is in the hands of others; 
When (the appropriate) situation arises, that knowledge is not knowledge and that wealth is not wealth, i.e. neither are of any use.
