Knowledge vs Wisdom

not really sure how much of this post applies here, but im going to post it anyway. i read a very interesting quote on this comment thread which goes something like this

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

so very true, for those who would understand its implications!

    Very true!
    Strange that we get degrees for knowledge (or rote-learning to be specific) and how little it has to do with wisdom - which can only be learnt with time and experience.
