Bede, on Prov 24:5

“A wise man is strong: and a knowing man, stout and valiant.”

“A wise man is strong, etc. Not everyone who is strong and wise, but everyone who is wise is to be called strong, because even if he is weak in body, if wisdom is present, he conquers all struggles of his adversary, that is, of the devil.”
