Wisdom, prudence, forethought, these are essential. But not second to these that noble courage which adventures the right, and leaves the consequences to God.

If God had sufficient wisdom and power to construct such a beautiful world as this, then we must admit that his wisdom and power are immeasurably greater than that of man, and hence he is qualified to reign as king.

This fear of the Lord is indeed the beginning of wisdom. This consciousness of sin is the straight pathway to heaven.

The first point of wisdom is to discern that which is false the second, to know that which is true.

The wisdom acquired with the passage of time is a useless gift unless you share it.
