Using a dull ax requires great strength, so sharpen the blade. That’s the value of wisdom; it helps you succeed.
You're blessed when you meet Lady Wisdom, when you make friends with Madame Insight. She's worth far more than money in the bank; her friendship is better than a big salary. Her value exceeds all the trappings of wealth; nothing you could wish for holds a candle to her. With one hand she gives long life, with the other she confers recognition. Her manner is beautiful, her life wonderfully complete. She's the very Tree of Life to those who embrace her. Hold her tight—and be blessed!
Tainted wealth has no lasting value, but right living can save your life.
Make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.
For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.

Awful circumstances cannot alter the goodness of God.
