"Seek ye diligently and teach one another words of wisdom;
yea, seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom;
seek learning, even by study and also by faith."
Doctrine and Covenants 88:118

"And the gatherer sought to find pleasing words, worthy writings, words of Truth."
Ecclesiastes 12:10

Self Awareness

"well-meaning women both, knowing very little of their own motives."

George Eliot
Middlemarch

Self awareness in some senses of the word is a spiritual gift.  Lack of it buffers the soul to some degree from being fully condemned for one's actions, but it also blocks any real spiritual growth.

"If men come unto me I show unto them their weakness...

"Because thou hast seen thy weakness, thou shalt be made strong..."

Ether 12
