But if sense is at work, which of these is more an artificer than that? If, therefore, wisdom is the creator of sound sense and profound understanding, how is it that she herself is not the producer of all good works, of sacred virtues, which offer lasting salvation to their lovers?
Rabanus Maurus, 9th c. — Commentary on Wisdom, PL 109

5If riches be a possession to be desired in this life; what is richer than wisdom, that worketh all things?

Wisdom of Solomon 8:6

7And if a man love righteousness her labours are virtues: for she teacheth temperance and prudence, justice and fortitude: which are such things, as men can have nothing more profitable in their life.

8If a man desire much experience, she knoweth things of old, and conjectureth aright what is to come: she knoweth the subtilties of speeches, and can expound dark sentences: she foreseeth signs and wonders, and the events of seasons and times.
