The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.

Solomon

The Bible itself claims that "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom".

Craig Blomberg

Clarence Darrow

The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, and they that lack the beginning have neither middle nor end

Clarence Darrow

So wie die Verruecktheit in einem hoeheren Sinn, der Anfang aller Weisheit ist, so ist die Schizophrenie der Anfang aller Kunst, aller Phantasie. (As insanity in a higher sense, is the beginning of all wisdom, so is schizophrenia the beginning of all art, all fantasy.)

Hermann Hesse

The feeling of commiseration is the beginning of humanity; the feeling of shame and dislike is the beginning of righteousness; the feeling of deference and compliance is the beginning of propriety; and the feeling of right or wrong is the beginning of wisdom.Men have these Four Beginnings just as they have their four limbs. Having these Four Beginnings, but saying that they cannot develop them is to destroy themselves.
