*1.* “A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion. The unfolding of your words gives light; it imparts understanding to the simple.” *2* “Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly.” *3* “Making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding; yes, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding, if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God.” *4* “Whoever restrains his words has knowledge, and he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding.”
