Wisdom


The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge,
   but fools despise wisdom and instruction. 
Proverbs 1:7 

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit." 
-Aristotle

My son, do not let wisdom and understanding out of your sight,
   preserve sound judgment and discretion;
 they will be life for you,
   an ornament to grace your neck. 
Proverbs 3:21-22

Patience is the companion of wisdom.  
-St. Augustine


How much better to get wisdom than gold,
   to get insight rather than silver! 
Proverbs 16:16

No man was ever wise by chance.  
-Seneca


The words of the mouth are deep waters,
   but the fountain of wisdom is a rushing stream. 
Proverbs 18:4
