महाभारतः       mahābhārataḥ - book-12, chapter-168, verse-21

lokaparyāyavṛttāntaṁ prājño jānāti netaraḥ.

lokaparyāyavṛttāntam prājñaḥ jānāti na itaraḥ
21. buddhiḥ dhanalābhāya na (bhavati) jāḍyam asamṛddhaye na
(bhavati) prājñaḥ lokaparyāyavṛttāntam jānāti itaraḥ na (jānāti)
21. Intelligence does not guarantee the acquisition of wealth (artha), nor does dullness (jāḍya) necessarily lead to a lack of prosperity. Only the wise person understands the changing course of worldly events, not anyone else.
