Knowledge or Wisdom?

Knowledge is like an education and wisdom is not always taught. Some are wise with common sense and some are knowledgeable about how things work. It's the difference between book smarts and street smarts. An education will only get you so far, but knowing how to interact with the world will change your life. Both are great things made even better when combined. As king solomon said, it's better to be alone on your roof than in a house with a quarellsome woman.... Wisdom, my friend. Wisdom.

A wise man once said "there is happiness in ignorance, for knowing too much will lead you to thinking about a world that you would never change alone" So a combo of wise + knowledge = best result. Another wise man said "you could have all the knowledge and power in the world conquer all the lands and you would still change nothing, if you are not a wise ruler"

@Rinar - Old tri-force proverb that fits the world. "Those who use 'Power' without 'Wisdom' can never claim 'Courage'." Knowledge is the raw facts and information. They are taught and memorized like trivia but useless if not applied properly. Wisdom is derived from part observational acuity, reasoning, and experience. It is what tempers your knowledge and provides the soft skills to apply that knowledge in a meaningful way. Some of both are important for maximum results IMHO.
