wisdom is the principal thing
Proverbs 4:5-8: "Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not;
neither decline from the words of my mouth. Forsake her not, and
she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.
Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all
thy getting get understanding. Exalt her, and she shall promote
thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace
her."
