great wisdom. the wisdom to know right from wrong in every situation and to follow through with the right choice. if you have wisdom than that is the key to having a beautiful life and aquiring anything you put your mind to.
what is great wealth without wisdom? it is nothing in my opinion.

Wisdom. This can be used to help others. A lot of people who have wealth just use it on themselves!

Wisdom every time. Knowledge unlocks every possibility, including the possibility to obtain wealth if that's your interest (it's not mine). I want to know more things than I want to have things.
I notice F@C@ said those who chose wisdom have never beeen hungry. In fact I have been when my dad was out on strike from his blue collar refinery job. His high school education lmited his options. So I earned a bachelor's and three masters, my income has risen along with my education and I've never been hungry since my childhood and have the means to donate to programs that feed those without means. It's a question of getting a fish (getting money) or knowing how to get fish whenever you want one (getting wisdom).

Great Wisdom. That way, if I also needed great wealthy, I could use my great wisdom to gain it. Besides, I like to be well informed.

I would choose wisdom. Wealth can be made anyway later.

If I were allowed to opt out, I probably would - much grief comes from either. If I were forced to choose, I would choose wisdom.
That said, I love wisdom, knowlege, logic and the sciences, which probably helps explain why I have bouts with depression. Thank God I find my way out when I mix faith with logic and faith with science and faith with knowlege. By themselves, these things are wonderful, but they lead to a bitter, cold and lonely truth: all under the sun is futile - a chasing the wind.
Faith allows me to transcend my circumstance - to sit enthroned with the very maker of it all - to hope against hope and to obtain the things I so ardently desire.
Blessings!
