Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Wise Man Is Strong: A Sermon on the Death of Daniel Webster, Delivered in Trinity Church, Washington D. C., November 7, 1852
The wise and foolish, in the language of Solo mon, sometimes mean merely the good and the evil. Sometimes Solomon uses the word wise to designate exclusively intellectual sagacity and power. At other times, as in the text, he includes both meanings in the word. Very frequently he asserts that holiness - the wisdom Of the heart increases the Sagacity, discretion, and power of the understanding - the wisdom of the mind. When these two wisdoms are combined, then, in the highest and best sense of the word, the man is wise.
He who in this sense is wise must be strong, and all the knowledge that he gains must increase his strength.
