Wisdom And The Right And The Left

Mῆκος γὰρ βίου καὶ ἔτη ζωῆς ἐν τῇ δεξιᾷ αὐτῆς ἐν δὲ τῇ ἀριστερᾷ αὐτῆς πλοῦτος καὶ δόξα Δεξιὰ αὐτῆς, ἡ τῶν θείων ἐπιστήμη, ἐξ ὧν ἡ αἰώνιος ζωή· ἀριστερα δὲ, ἡ τῶν ἀνθρωπίνων γνῶσις. Δίδυμος Αλεξανδρεύς, Εἰς Παροιμιας Source: Migne PG 39.1625c

Wisdom holds out long life in her right hand, and in her left riches and glory. 1 The right hand is the knowlege of Divine things, from which there is eternal life; the left hand is the knowledge of human things. Didymus the Blind, On Proverbs, fragment 1 Prov 3.16
