Right now, I'm going to skip around, and pull some really cool verses that I like, and say what I think they mean. Feel free to comment, or debate their meanings.
Proverbs 12:1 Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,
but he who hates correction is stupid.

I believe that this is a good support for Education, as well as a hint for how to become wise. If you are disciplined, you will learn much, as opposed to leaping from one topic to another anytime you get a little antsy. It also warns against being so egotistical that you cannot accept correction. You do not know everything, how can you? There are others who know more in certain areas than you, be open to them, and their ideas, for there is always much to be learned.
Proverbs 16:31 Gray hair is a crown of splendor;
it is attained by a righteous life.

This is simply a comment on vanity. If you have lived long enough, you have been doing something right, and you have much wisdom. It is this wisdom that makes your crown special. Do not be worried about it, for it is a something that you should wear proudly, elegantly.
Proverbs 19:9 A false witness will not go unpunished,
and he who pours out lies will perish.

This is a warning to those who preach their word, not The Word, for the sole purpose of self advancement. There are scam artists out there who have few morals, and know that the Christian Church is a huge, largly unmoderated operation. They feel that nothing is wrong with milking poor misguided flock members by spouting cliches and collecting every week. Beware that you do not follow these people, and be even more careful that you do not do this, even on accident. Do not do anything for Christ because you want any sort of personal gains. It will affect what you get out of it, and more importantly, affect what others get out of it. Do not drag others down in your sin.
