“Wisdom Is The Principal Thing”
“Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.”
“That is the principal thing-not to remain with the dream, with the intention, with the being-in-the-mood, but always forcibly to convert it all into things.”
“My high school principal, Mr. Heisenberg, was the uncertain principal.”
“But it is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things.”
“Understanding the true nature of things, or seeing things as they really are, is the ground of wisdom.”
