A metaphor is an analogy or comparison.  "Your eyes are sapphires" is a metaphor, because eyes are compared to sapphire jewels.\n\nThere is a kind of metaphor called a "simile."  The difference is that for a simile, we say something "is like" another rather than being the same as another.\n\n"Your eyes are LIKE sapphires" is, properly, a simile rather than a metaphor.\n\nSimiles and metaphors are TECHNIQUES of the art of RHETORIC as developed in ancient Greece.

Hi there, \n\nAdvice and Advise aren't the same.\n\n'Advice' is a noun, as in "He gave me an advice."\n'Advise' is a verb as in "I advised him to invest in mutual funds."\n\nHope this clarifies the point. If not, I'd be glad to assist you further. Just let me know. Bye!!\n\nrule wid style n luv@vinny

Wisdom is much more complicated than knowledge. Knowledge is merely an understanding of the nature of things but wisdom involves a vast array of character attributes that predispose to prudent behavior.

You have just found a case of clashing quotations. Your question will cause a tear in the fabric of the universe.\nAnyway, being somewhat serious, of course you realize that those two sayings are just overt generalizations, like any saying. Two quotations put together are like apples and oranges, so you can't really make an argument by putting them together. The only exception is if they have been written by the same person, then it would be a thematic inconsistency. In the case of your quotations, they're both true. Practice will take you to perfection in your endeavor. Also almost nothing is in a state of perfection, and we have to be willing to accept smal eorrrs.

The contents of the Holy Scriptures was inspired by Jehovah God and therefore stands alone in comparison to any other book.\nThe beneficial purpose of Proverbs is stated in the opening verses:"For one to know wisdom and discipline,to discern the sayings of understanding,to receive the discipline that gives insight,righteousness and judgement and uprightness,to give to the inexperienced ones shrewdness,to a young man knowledge and thinking ability"(1:2-4)\nIn harmony with that stated purpose,the book highlights knowledge,wisdom,and understanding,each of which is beneficial in its particular way.

Proverbs 3\n\nFurther Benefits of Wisdom \n\n 1 My son, do not forget my teaching, \n       but keep my commands in your heart, \n 2 for they will prolong your life many years \n       and bring you prosperity. \n\n 3 Let love and faithfulness never leave you; \n       bind them around your neck, \n       write them on the tablet of your heart. \n\n 4 Then you will win favor and a good name \n       in the sight of God and man. \n\n 5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart \n       and lean not on your own understanding; \n\n 6 in all your ways acknowledge him, \n       and he will make your paths straight. [a] \n\n 7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; \n       fear the LORD and shun evil. \n\n 8 This will bring health to your body \n       and nourishment to your bones. \n\n 9 Honor the LORD with your wealth, \n       with the firstfruits of all your crops; \n\n 10 then your barns will be filled to overflowing, \n       and your vats will brim over with new wine. \n\n 11 My son, do not despise the LORD's discipline \n       and do not resent his rebuke, \n\n 12 because the LORD disciplines those he loves, \n       as a father [b] the son he delights in. \n\n 13 Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, \n       the man who gains understanding, \n\n 14 for she is more profitable than silver \n       and yields better returns than gold. \n\n 15 She is more precious than rubies; \n       nothing you desire can compare with her. \n\n 16 Long life is in her right hand; \n       in her left hand are riches and honor. \n\n 17 Her ways are pleasant ways, \n       and all her paths are peace. \n\n 18 She is a tree of life to those who embrace her; \n       those who lay hold of her will be blessed. \n\n 19 By wisdom the LORD laid the earth's foundations, \n       by understanding he set the heavens in place; \n\n 20 by his knowledge the deeps were divided, \n       and the clouds let drop the dew. \n\n 21 My son, preserve sound judgment and discernment, \n       do not let them out of your sight; \n\n 22 they will be life for you, \n       an ornament to grace your neck. \n\n 23 Then you will go on your way in safety, \n       and your foot will not stumble; \n\n 24 when you lie down, you will not be afraid; \n       when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet. \n\n 25 Have no fear of sudden disaster \n       or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked, \n\n 26 for the LORD will be your confidence \n       and will keep your foot from being snared. \n\n 27 Do not withhold good from those who deserve it, \n       when it is in your power to act. \n\n 28 Do not say to your neighbor, \n       "Come back later; I'll give it tomorrow"—\n       when you now have it with you. \n\n 29 Do not plot harm against your neighbor, \n       who lives trustfully near you. \n\n 30 Do not accuse a man for no reason— \n       when he has done you no harm. \n\n 31 Do not envy a violent man \n       or choose any of his ways, \n\n 32 for the LORD detests a perverse man \n       but takes the upright into his confidence. \n\n 33 The LORD's curse is on the house of the wicked, \n       but he blesses the home of the righteous. \n\n 34 He mocks proud mockers \n       but gives grace to the humble. \n\n 35 The wise inherit honor, \n       but fools he holds up to shame.

Well, I was going to answer your question, but.......you've already answered it yourself!  I's all in the scriptures.\n\nTo quote just a part of Proverbs 4 - "Acquire wisdom, acquire understanding. Do not forget, and do not turn aside from the sayings of my mouth.  Do not leave it, and it will keep you. Love it, and it will safeguard you.  Wisdom is the prime thing. Acquire wisdom; and with all that you acquire, acquire understanding.  Highly esteem it, and it will exalt you. It will glorify you because you embrace it.  To your head it will give a wreath of charm; a crown of beauty it will bestow upon you.”
