"Prefiere el conocimiento a la riqueza, porque uno es transitorio, el otro perpetuo."

Simplified Meaning:

Money can come and go, but learning stays with you forever. Imagine you have a lot of money, but you spend it all on things you don’t really need. Soon, the money is gone, and you're left with nothing. Now think about learning a new skill, like cooking or fixing things. No one can take that knowledge away from you. Even if you don't have money, you can always use what you’ve learned to help yourself and others. For example, knowing how to cook means you can always make a meal even if you're low on money. Skills and knowledge give you the power to keep improving your life, no matter what happens with your money. So, it's much wiser to focus on learning and gaining knowledge than just trying to get rich.
