For wisdom is a defense, even as money is a defense; but the excellency of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the life of him who has it.

Then I said,“ Wisdom is better than strength.” Nevertheless the poor man’s wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.The words of the wise heard in quiet are better than the cry of him who rules among fools.Wisdom is better than weapons of war; but one sinner destroys much good.

Buy the truth, and don’t sell it. Get wisdom, discipline, and understanding.

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

“ Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like treasure hidden in the field, which a man found, and hid. In his joy, he goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field.“ Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a merchant seeking fine pearls,who having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

Yes most certainly, and I count all things to be a loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Christ

Through your precepts, I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way.

For what does it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?For what will a man give in exchange for his life?

“ But God said to him,‘ You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared— whose will they be?’

Don’t be afraid when a man is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;for when he dies he will carry nothing away. His glory won’t descend after him.Though while he lived he blessed his soul— and men praise you when you do well for yourself—he shall go to the generation of his fathers. They shall never see the light.A man who has riches without understanding, is like the animals that perish.

Getting treasures by a lying tongue is a fleeting vapor for those who seek death.

I made myself great works. I built myself houses. I planted myself vineyards.I made myself gardens and parks, and I planted trees in them of all kinds of fruit.I made myself pools of water, to water from it the forest where trees were grown.I bought male servants and female servants, and had servants born in my house. I also had great possessions of herds and flocks, above all who were before me in Jerusalem.I also gathered silver and gold for myself, and the treasure of kings and of the provinces. I got myself male and female singers, and the delights of the sons of men: musical instruments, and that of all sorts.So I was great, and increased more than all who were before me in Jerusalem. My wisdom also remained with me.

There is one who is alone, and he has neither son nor brother. There is no end to all of his labor, neither are his eyes satisfied with wealth.“ For whom then, do I labor and deprive my soul of enjoyment?” This also is vanity. Yes, it is a miserable business.

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