Wisdom
From Bahai9
The essence of wisdom is the fear of God[edit]
The essence of wisdom is the fear of God, the dread of His scourge and punishment, and the apprehension of His justice and decree.
- (Bahá'u'lláh: Tablets of Bahá'u'lláh, p. 155)
The wise are men whose knowledge is not confined to words and who produce enduring results[edit]
"This Wronged One hath invariably treated the wise with affection. By the wise is meant men whose knowledge is not confined to mere words and whose lives have been fruitful and have produced enduring results. It is incumbent upon everyone to honour these blessed souls. Happy are they that observe God’s precepts; happy are they that have recognized the Truth; happy are they that judge with fairness in all matters and hold fast to the Cord of My inviolable Justice."
- (Bahá'u'lláh: Tablets of Bahá'u'lláh, p. 62)
