Origen, on Prov 1:5

“A wise man shall hear and shall be wiser: and he that understandeth, shall possess governments.”

“He who accepts the doctrines of wisdom, sometimes, in addition to the first doctrines because of which he is already wise, takes up second doctrines in reference to which he was not formerly wise, and [then] he will be wiser, just as also it is said, "For when a wise man has heard these things, he will be wiser."”
