>From a book on wisdom - Proverbs. The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel: for attaining wisdom and discipline; for understanding words of insight; for acquiring a disciplined and prudent life, doing what is right and just and fair; for giving prudence to the simple, knowledge and discretion to the young -- let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance . . .. (1:1-5)
A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge; but the simple keep going and suffer for it. (22:3) "He who answers before listening - that is his folly and his shame." (18:13) "It is not good to have zeal without knowledge." (19:2a) "The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty."
