Today's Subhashita.

अविनीतस्य या विद्या सा चिरं नैव तिष्ठति |
मर्कटस्य  गले  बद्धा मणीनां  मालिका  यथा  ||

अर्थ -    एक अविनीत  व्यक्ति  द्वारा प्राप्त  विद्या उसके पास चिरकाल तक नहीं रहती , उसी प्रकार जैसे एक बन्दर के गले में पडी मणिओं  की माला शीघ्र टूट कर बिखर जाती है  (क्यों कि बन्दर को माला की गुणवत्ता  और मूल्य  का कोई  ज्ञान नहीं होता है)

Avineetasya yaa vidyaa saa chiram naiva tishthati.
markatasya gale baddhaa maneenaam maalikaa yathaa.

Avineetasya = an ill-mannered person's      Yaa = whatsoever.    Vidyaa = knowledge, learning.  
Saa = that.   Chiram = long time.  Naiva = not.   Tishthati =  stays, remains.     Markatasya = a monkey's
Gale = neck.   Baddhaa =chained, tied.      Maneenaam = precious stones.     Maalikaa = garland.
Yathaa = for instance, like that of.

i.e.     The knowledge and learning acquired by an ill-mannered persons does not stays with him for a long time, just like a garland (necklace) studded with precious stones around the neck of a monkey ( which the
monkey will sooner or later break into pieces,totally unaware of the value of the garland).
