See the chapter Copy

Treat wisdom as your sister, and insight as your closest friend.

It does a fool no good to spend money on an education, because he has no common sense.

Are you immature? Learn to be mature. Are you foolish? Learn to have sense.

It is better—much better—to have wisdom and knowledge than gold and silver.

My children, listen to what your father teaches you. Pay attention, and you will have understanding.

Reverence for the Lord is an education in itself. You must be humble before you can ever receive honors.

If you listen to me, you will know what is right, just, and fair. You will know what you should do.

Listen to what you are taught. Be wise; do not neglect it.

If you listen to advice and are willing to learn, one day you will be wise.
