He that would thrive, must rise at five

सुखार्थी त्यजते विद्याम्
विद्यार्थी त्यजते सुखम् ।
सुखार्थिनः कुतो विद्या
कुतो विद्यार्थिनः सुखम् ॥
- चाणक्यनीतिः

One who delights in material wealth gives up education.
One who desires to gain knowledge gives up luxuries.
How can someone seeking lavish life gain knowledge?
How can someone seeking knowledge lead a luxurious life?


He that would thrive, must rise at five.
