Sanskrit verse:
विद्या ददाति विनयं विनयाद् याति पात्रताम्।
पात्रत्वाद् धनमाप्नोति धनाद् धर्मं ततः सुखम्॥
Meaning (proper English translation):
Knowledge gives humility. From humility comes worthiness (or character).
From worthiness one obtains wealth. From wealth comes righteousness (dharma).
From righteousness arises happiness.
This is a well-known Sanskrit subhāṣita (wise saying) often taught in traditional education.
