Wisdom — The First Pillar of the Forge
To pursue the examined life — to read, to reason, to seek truth, and to grow without ceasing in the knowledge of God, of virtue, and of himself. The mind is a sacred trust. It must be sharpened, disciplined, and fed — not with the noise of the age, but with the permanent things.
“The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom, and whatever you get, get insight.”
