Here are a few responses to the questioned I presented yesterday about wisdom and knowledge:  

Knowledge is knowing things,Wisdom is too, but is shared.  

Knowledge = input of factsWisdom = ability to use facts for your & other’s benefit  

Knowledge is acquaintance with truths while wisdom is knowledge with just judgment.   

Knowledge is simply pure fact based.  Wisdom is knowing when to apply your knowledge….  

Knowledge is the ability to learn, wisdom is applying what you learn.  

My response was: Wisdom is the knowledge of what is good and true and applying it.  Also, knowledge is learned while wisdom is earned. 

Some pretty good responses in my opinion but I would like to dig a bit deeper into this.  However, I don’t think anyone can give me a better response than the one an friend gave me:  

They have different spellings.

Not all of my friends are Rhodes Scholars.

I know that, but since noone sees the irony I guess I will fix it.

Never mistake knowledge for wisdom.
One helps you make a Living. The Other helps you make a life.
