"Wisdom is better than might..." (Ecclesiastes 9:16). "To get wisdom is better than gold; to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver" (Proverbs 16:16). "The wisdom from above is first indeed pure, then peaceful, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruits, without doubt, without hypocrisy" (James 3:17). "The beginning of wisdom is fear of God, and understanding is good to all the ones who do it; and godliness into God is the beginning of skill, and the ungodly men will despise wisdom and training" (Proverbs 1:7). "For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding; he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk in integrity, guarding the paths of justice and preserving the way of his holy men. Then you will understand righteousness and justice and equity, every good path; for wisdom will come into your heart, and knowledge wll be pleasant to your soul; discretion will watch over you; understanding will guard you" (Provers 2:6-11). Teachings from God - "that men may know wisdom and instruction, understand words of insight, receive instruction in wise dealing, righteousness, justice, and equity" (Proverbs 1:2-3).

These quotes themselves are good source of wisdom. "The wisdom from above is first indeed pure, then peaceful, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruits, without doubt, without hypocrisy" (James 3:17). Beautiful and true.

Very good quotes for wisdom. "To get wisdom is better than gold; to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver" (Proverbs 16:16). Yes, wisdom is much better. I hope that I could have also the wisdom from God.

Yes, wisdom is better than might. There are many beautiful teachings from God really which we do apply in our daily life. If we follow God, we would be able to know how to deal with our daily problems.
