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

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil.

Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.

Choose my instruction instead of silver, knowledge rather than choice gold, for wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire can compare with her.

Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth.

Whoever heeds discipline shows the way to life, but whoever ignores correction leads others astray.
