Knowledge vs. Wisdom

Recommended Posts

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit; Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

 

Similarly,

 

Knowledge is knowing men and woman may offer intimate encounters and appreciate gratuity; Wisdom is respecting them as human beings who share an experience with you and not as a commodity.

Heh heh. From an old source that (cough, cough) may or may not be the Dungeons and Dragons Player's Handbook c.1978, if we substitute "intelligence" for "knowledge":

 

Intelligence is the awareness that smoking is bad for you; Wisdom is the ability to make yourself stop.

 

Also, Intelligence is important for Magic-users (and Illusionists) and determines how many spells they can cast per day, whereas Wisdom is crucial for Clerics (and Paladins) and determines how many spells THEY can cast per day.

 

(That I know this goes a long way to explaining why I had no dates in high school.)
