The Mark of Wisdom

The highest mark of wisdom is not the ability to speak of great and lofty things, or to eloquently tell others the things I know. No, the highest mark of wisdom is humility; it is submissiveness of spirit to God and others, that seeks advice, heeds good counsel and takes to heart reproof.



"Hear instruction and be wise

and do not neglect it."

- Proverbs 8:33 ESV


"The wise of heart will receive commandments..."
-Proverbs 10:8 ESV
