Assalamu Alaikum,
I very much ask your forgiveness for the delay:
Earnest application makes accessible every remote affair
and industriousness opens every locked door
The creature of God most worthy of grief
is a man of high aspirations who is worn out
by a life of straightened circumstances.
Proof of divine destiny and its wisdom
are in the afflictions of the wise and the easy life of the fool.
Lack of wealth will nourish intellectual power
[Wealth and Intellect] are opposites; how far apart are the two.
mentioned on p. 19 of "Instruction of the Student: The Method of Learning" by Imam al-Zarnuji, published by the Starlatch Press. The Arabic can be found in the same book in Arabic: Ta'lim al-Muta'allim, Tariq al-Ta'allum
