Walls of Proverbs

Proverbs of Solomon 19:8

He who acquires wisdom is his own best friend; he preserves understanding and attains happiness.  (JPS version of Tanakh)

Preserving understanding is a pure and noble goal.  I have long loved the proverbs of King Solomon as written in the Jewish Bible in the Book of Proverbs.
