Looking for Sanskrit Shubhaashita… [vidyaa dadaati vinayaM...]

May 8, 2006 6:59 am

I had mentioned about the Sanskrit language(संस्कृतम्), 2liner shubhashithas etc., in one of my blog posts before. One of my favorite 2 liner during my school days was about character and behavior – In sanskrit, it reads like this ….

विद्या दधाति विनयं; विनयं दधाति पात्रतां!

 Just in case your browser didn't display the rigt fonts  – this is how it reads in english…
[vidyaa dadhaati vinayaM; vinayaM dadhaati paatrataaM!]

Apparently, I am able to recall only one line and unable to remember the 2nd line. And, in fact, that's how the quote becomes complete. If you happen to know the complete quote – please let me know via comment on this post…. (ok if it is typed in english) thanks in advance. I have even searched on another shubhashita blog collection to some extent – perhaps I might have missed it there.
