Start with God - the first step in learning is bowing down to God; only fools thumb their noses at such wisdom and learning.

He mocks proud mockers but gives grace to the humble. from the Book of Proverbs

One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty; one who rules his spirit, than he who takes a city.

My beloved is mine and I am his.

For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.

Fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Without vision a people perishes.
