A stanza to by heart:

                                           न चोरहार्यं न च राजहार्यं

न भ्रातृभाज्यं  न च भारकारि

व्ययीकृते  वर्धत एव नित्यं

विद्याधनं सर्वधनप्रधानम्

Na chorahaaryaM na cha raajahaaryaM

Na bhraatRu bhaajyaM na cha bhaarakaari

Vyayee kRite vardhata eva nityaM

vidyaadhanaM sarvadhana pradhaanam

n      The wealth of education is considered to be the best among all types of wealth. It can not be taken forcibly either by thieves or by the king. It can not be distributed among brothers. It never creates any burden. It goes on increasing abundantly even by being spent relentlessly.
