What is the begining of wisdom?

Wonder is the begining of wisdom in learning from books as well as from nature.If you never ask yourself any questions about the meaning of a passage.You cannot expect the book to give you any insight you do not already possess.

Read not to contradict and confute; not to believe and take for granted not to find talk and discourse but to weigh and consider.

Nothing but action solves practical problems.
