सुभाषितरत्नसमुच्चय - पुस्तकस्था हि या विद्या

पुस्तकस्था हि या विद्या धनं यद् वान्यहस्तगम् ।
नोपकुर्याज्जनस्येह कार्यकाले समुपस्थिते ॥

- सुभाषितरत्नसमुच्चय

pustakasthA hi yA vidyA dhanaM yad va anya hastagam ।
na upakuryAt janasya iha kAryakAle samupasthite ॥

Knowledge that is present in a book and money lent to others are both useless when you need them. They can not be recalled at the very hour it is needed.
