The beginning of wisdom is: get wisdom!
And along with all your getting, get insight!
Cherish her, and she will exalt you;
embrace her, and she will bring you honor;
she will give your head a garland of grace,
bestow on you a crown of glory.

—Proverbs 4:7-9

'The call of wisdom'. 'Wisdom calls aloud outside. She raises her voice in the open squares. She cries out in the chief concourses. At the opening of the gates in the city,she speaks her words. How long you simple ones will you love simplicity?' (Proverbs 1:20-22)

'The value of wisdom'. 'My son if you receive my words and treasure my commands within you,so that you incline your ear to wisdom and apply your heart to understanding. Yes,if you cry out for discernment and lift up your voice for understanding. If you seek her as silver and search for her as for hidden treasures. Then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God. For the Lord gives wisdom,from His mouth come knowledge and understanding. He stores up sound wisdom for the upright. He is a shield to those who walk uprightly. He guards the paths of justice and preserves the way of His saints. Then you will understand righteousness and justice,equity and every good path..' (Proverbs 2:1-9)

In light of recent events, I think this is a wonderful reminder from Proverbs 8:

I, wisdom, dwell with prudence,
And I find knowledge and discretion.

—Proverbs 8:12

Counsel is mine and sound wisdom;
I am understanding, power is mine.

—Proverbs 8:14

I walk in the way of righteousness,
In the midst of the paths of justice.

—Proverbs 8:20

Now, therefore, O sons, listen to me,
For blessed are they who keep my ways.
Heed instruction and be wise,
And do not neglect it.
Blessed is the man who listens to me,
Watching daily at my gates,
Waiting at my doorposts.
For he who finds me finds life
And obtains favor from the Lord.
Proverbs 8: 32-35

The mind of the prudent acquires knowledge,
And the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.

—Proverbs 18:15

The first to plead his case seems right,
Until another comes and examines him.

—Proverbs 18:17

A man of too many friends comes to ruin,
But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

—Proverbs 18:24

All wisdom starts with the fear of the Lord. Only on that foundation can true wisdom be built. (All underlining is mine)

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge,
But fools despise wisdom and instruction. (Proverbs 1:7)

Because they hated knowledge
And did not choose the fear of the Lord,
They would have none of my counsel
And despised my every rebuke.
Therefore they shall eat the fruit of their own way,
And be filled to the full with their own fancies.
For the turning away of the simple will slay them,
And the complacency of fools will destroy them;
But whoever listens to me will dwell safely,
And will be secure, without fear of evil.” (Proverbs 1: 29-33)

My son, if you receive my words,
And a treasure my commands within you, So that you incline your ear to wisdom,
And apply your heart to understanding; Yes, if you cry out for discernment,
And lift up your voice for understanding, If you seek her as silver,
And search for her as for hidden treasures; Then you will understand the fear of the LORD,
And find the knowledge of God.
For the LORD gives wisdom;
From His mouth come knowledge and understanding; He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk uprightly; He guards the paths of justice,
And preserves the way of His saints. Then you will understand righteousness and justice, (Proverbs 2:1-8)

From the MacArthur Study Bible on Proverbs 1:7:
1:7 The fear of the Lord. The overarching theme of this book and particularly the first 9 chapters is introduced—reverence for God (see v. 29; 2:5; 3:7; 8:13; 9:10; 14:26, 27; cf. also Job 28:28; Ps. 34:11; Acts 9:31). This reverential awe and admiring, submissive fear is foundational for all spiritual knowledge and wisdom (cf. 2:4–6; 9:10; 15:33; Job 28:28; Ps. 111:10; Eccl. 12:13). While the unbeliever may make statements about life and truth, he does not have true or ultimate knowledge until he is in a redemptive relationship of reverential awe with God. Note the progression here: 1) teaching about God; 2) learning about God; 3) fearing God; 4) knowing God; and 5) imitating God’s wisdom. The fear of the Lord is a state of mind in which one’s own attitudes, will, feelings, deeds, and goals are exchanged for God’s (cf. Ps. 42:1).

'My son give attention to my words. Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes. Keep them in the midst of your heart. For they are life to those who find them and health to all their flesh' (Proverbs 4:20-22)
