Wisdom In Marble

"Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold; She is more precious than rubies, and all the things that can be compared unto her. Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace."
- Solomon, born circa 990 BCE in Jerusalem, Kingdom of Israel (on the land of present-day Israel)
