Proverbs 1:5-7
A wise man will hear and increase learning, And a man of understanding will attain wise counsel, 6 To understand a proverb and an enigma, The words of the wise and their riddles. 7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction.

To be wise, I must seek to learn by listening - both to God's word and to those who teach it. Then He can sharpen me to do deeper into things not so clear. But all learning must be founded on the fear of The Lord - knowing that living what I learn must be to please Him, not for my own "bettering." Only fools hate to learn and to grow wiser.
