What is the difference between knowledge and wisdom?

Posted on Jul 2nd, 2008 by

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for July 02, 2008:

I can define the word knowledge, I can define the word wisdom. That is knowledge. I can gather understanding and apply it with love. That is wisdom. I don't know if I have either of these things.

Or maybe like Stacey says - hot air and soap make bubbles. Could be either.

Gathering wisdom and applying it with love – what a good definition. Yes, I think you have some of that.

Knowledge is to wisdom as “fragaria” is to a strawberry. To possess the botanical name for a strawberry is impressive to some, meaningless to others. To taste that strawberry fresh off the plant, well, let's just say, you can't get that from a book. Knowedge is a “ripple on the water.” Wisdom is the whole ocean. Wisdom transcends ego.

I like that otter - Knowedge is a “ripple on the water.” Wisdom is the whole ocean.
