Wisdom

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

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!

No man was ever wise by chance.

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