“Wisdom comes to no one by chance.” -Seneca

Like most valuable things in this life, wisdom is something that must be desired and sought after. The Bible reiterates this principle in several places, by several different writers:

“Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.” -Proverbs 4:7

“I [Wisdom] love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.” -Proverbs 8:17

“If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.” -James 1:5

“O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day. Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation. I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.” -Psalm 119:97-100
