Wisdom From Around the World: Proverbs

It is essential to success. It is vital for lasting happiness. It invites respect.

This makes wisdom worth searching for. My favorite book says of wisdom:

The first step to becoming wise is to look for wisdom, so use everything you have to get understanding. Love wisdom, and she will make you great. Hold on to wisdom, and she will bring you honor. Wisdom will reward you with a crown of honor and glory. | Proverbs 4:7-9 | The Bible
