"As we prepare materials to build a house or temple, so man can prepare
himself for the reception of eternal wisdom. We go where the materials
for a house are, and prepare them to answer our purpose; so we may go to
where eternal wisdom dwells and there diligently seek to possess it, for
its price is above rubies [see Job
28:18]." - Discourses of Brigham Young, p.261-262

"We remember that during the meridian of time a
bright, particular star shone in the heavens. Wise men followed it and
found the Christ child. Today wise men still look heavenward and again
see a bright, particular star. It will guide you and me to our
opportunities. The burden of the downtrodden will be lifted, the cry
of the hungry stilled, the lonely heart comforted. And souls will be
saved—yours, theirs, and mine." - Thomas S. Monson, "The
Long Line of the Lonely," Ensign (CR), May 1981, p.47

"Wisdom comes through effort. All
good things require effort. That which is worth having will cost part
of your physical being, your intellectual power and your soul
power—'Ask, and it shall be given you seek, and ye shall find knock,
and it shall be opened unto you:' (Matt.
7:7.) But you have to seek,
you have to knock. On the other hand, sin thrusts itself upon you. It
walks beside you, it tempts you, it entices, it allures. You do not
have to put forth effort. It is like the poor, fallen woman who lies
in wait to deceive. It is like the billboard advertising attracting
you to drink and to smoke. It is like the message that comes into your
very homes with the television and radio or the golden packet put
right into your hand. Evil seeks you, and it requires effort and
fortitude to combat it. But truth and wisdom are gained only by
seeking, by prayer, and by effort." - David
O. McKay, "Conference Report," October 1965, Afternoon Meeting,
p.145

"Today in our hurried and
hectic lives, we could well go back to an earlier time for the lesson
taught us regarding crossing dangerous streets. 'Stop, look, and listen'
were the watchwords. Could we not apply them now? Stop from a reckless
road to ruin. Look upward for heavenly help. Listen for His invitation:
'Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give
you rest.' (Matt.
11:28.)" - Thomas S. Monson, "Patience
— A Heavenly Virtue," Ensign (CR), November 1995, p.59

“That
wisdom which leads to salvation comes from God by revelation. Every
person on earth, in or out of the Church, can gain wisdom from the
Lord, who is the source and font of all truth and righteousness. Those
outside the Church who diligently seek will be led to the gospel of
salvation where perfect wisdom resides; those in the Church, when they
seek righteousness with all their hearts, will be led along the path
of truth and revelation until they know all things and have all
wisdom.” - Bruce R. McConkie, “Doctrinal New
Testament Commentary,” 3 vols., 3:246

How do we know if we are wise or
foolish? When we hear inspired counsel, we obey. That is the test of
wise or foolish. - Joseph B.
Wirthlin, "Life's
Lessons Learned,” Ensign (CR) April 2007
