The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all they that do thereafter; His praise endureth for ever.

Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
The Master said, "Learning without thought is labour lost; thought without learning is perilous."
Call on your Lord with humility and in private: for Allah loveth not those who trespass beyond bounds.
A man is not learned because he talks much; he who is patient, free from hatred and fear, he is called learned.
Balm to mine eyes the dust, my head I bow / Upon thy stair. / Where shall I go, where from thy presence? thou / Art everywhere. …
"The beautiful (gods) with joined hands praise and worship the highest Lord (i.e. the Tîrthakara) as the planets, &c., (praise) the moon.
Wisdom which leads to arguments is not called wisdom. Wisdom leads us to serve our Lord and Master; through wisdom, honor is obtained. Wisdom does not come by reading textbooks; wisdom inspires us to give in charity. Says Nanak, this is the Path; other things lead to Satan.
