A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:

Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.

Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom.

The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.

He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.

A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.

For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall.

He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a prating fool shall fall.

He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.

A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul.

Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.
