Ἐὰν ᾖς φιλομαθής, ἔσει πολυμαθής (Isocrates 1.18)

I need some help translating this motto from Ancient Greek to English.  I think it's all correct, but I might have lost punctuation here and there as the motto was originally in capitals.  I do hope you can help.

Many thanks

If you are studious, you will be(come) learned.

Τhe correct Greek phrase is "Εάν ής φιλομαθής, έσει πολυμαθής" by Isocrates.

Many thanks for your incredibly fast reply.  I had no idea it was by Isocrates.

Totally agree with Vicky. There's also this:

The inscription, from Isocrates, reads "If you are a lover of learning, you will become learned"
