The Price of Wisdom

The price of wisdom is above rubies, the topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it. Neither shall it be valued with pure gold. Wisdom is found through fear and suffering. Understanding is found through hardship. Find a wise man, or discover a woman of great understanding - you have met with one who has suffered. The greater the suffering, the greater the pain,. the greater the fear, the more we have wondered whether there truly is justice in the world, the more wisdom we attain.
