Proverbs 23:15
My son, if your heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.

Worldly men make it their great work to provide those things for their children which they account their own best things. Saints desire above all things that the hearts of their children may be richly furnished with wisdom, and that their lips may speak right things; for the heart is the throne of Wisdom, and by the lips she discovers her possession of that throne.

(George Lawson, D.D.)
