[Reader-list] Query regarding a phrase/proverb

[Rahul Asthana]

Google tells me the whole shloka is -"Vidya dadati
vinayam / Vinayat yati patratam / Patra dhanamapnoti /
yatra dhanam tatah sukham." (Learning brings modesty;
from modesty comes good character; a person with
goodness and politeness earns wealth and where there
is wealth, there is happiness.) 
It also tells me its from panchtantra.
