The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding.

To start being wise you must first get wisdom. No matter what it costs, get understanding.

The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom, and whatever you get, get insight.

Getting wisdom is the wisest thing you can do! And whatever else you do, develop good judgment.

For wisdom is a defense as money is a defense, But the excellence of knowledge is that wisdom gives life to those who have it.

Then I said:“ Wisdom is better than strength. Nevertheless the poor man’s wisdom is despised, And his words are not heard.Words of the wise, spoken quietly, should be heard Rather than the shout of a ruler of fools.Wisdom is better than weapons of war; But one sinner destroys much good.”

Buy the truth, and do not sell it, Also wisdom and instruction and understanding.

How much better to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.

“ Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.“ Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls,who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it.

Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ

Through Your precepts I get understanding; Therefore I hate every false way.

For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

But God said to him,‘ Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?’

Do not be afraid when one becomes rich, When the glory of his house is increased;For when he dies he shall carry nothing away; His glory shall not descend after him.Though while he lives he blesses himself( For men will praise you when you do well for yourself),He shall go to the generation of his fathers; They shall never see light.A man who is in honor, yet does not understand, Is like the beasts that perish.

Getting treasures by a lying tongue Is the fleeting fantasy of those who seek death.

I made my works great, I built myself houses, and planted myself vineyards.I made myself gardens and orchards, and I planted all kinds of fruit trees in them.I made myself water pools from which to water the growing trees of the grove.I acquired male and female servants, and had servants born in my house. Yes, I had greater possessions of herds and flocks than all who were in Jerusalem before me.I also gathered for myself silver and gold and the special treasures of kings and of the provinces. I acquired male and female singers, the delights of the sons of men, and musical instruments of all kinds.So I became great and excelled more than all who were before me in Jerusalem. Also my wisdom remained with me.

There is one alone, without companion: He has neither son nor brother. Yet there is no end to all his labors, Nor is his eye satisfied with riches. But he never asks,“ For whom do I toil and deprive myself of good?” This also is vanity and a grave misfortune.

But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.”
