The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.

- Bible, Quoted in Psalms and Poverbs

A quick comment:

This is not the unhealthy kind of fear, but instead a reverent form of respect and fear of consequence for being unholy and unworthy in the presence of the most holy.

This is often misunderstood and humulity is so central to understanding this nd being like this.
