Wisdom is much more complicated than knowledge. Knowledge is merely an understanding of the nature of things but wisdom involves a vast array of character attributes that predispose to prudent behavior.

Ignorance is the lack of knowledge or education.\n\nStupidity is a poor ability to understand or to profit from experience.

Temptation can be avoided by knowledge. In the Bhagavad Gita "Knowledge is obscured by the wise man's eternal enemy namely desire..." If you know temptation will happen you can avoid it.

Knowledge might be more profitable than wealth or money, because you can share your knowledge with an infinite number of people (as I do with my blog below).\n\nHowever, if you have a five-dollar bill, you can only give it to one person.\n\nThis is why it is said that intellectual capital is fast becoming MORE powerful and valuable than financial capital.

Actually, its harder to be dumb and easier to be smart because you are constantly learning.  A person with knowledge is a person w/ power.  And a smart person would have to work really hard to be dumb because it tends to show in their personality and the way they hold themselves.

I have found curiosity to provoke the intellect. When you are curious about something, you research and learn more about it. Wisdom comes through understanding. Wisdon may or may not be tied to intellect as although you may seek wisdom through studies, you do not always find it.\n\nSeek and you shall find.\n\n+Michael

I don’t agree with the premise of the question.  Knowledge is provable.  Knowledge not provable is a guess that sometimes rises to the level of a hypothesis.  Without the proff it has no value.

Because wisdom comes with age, and it takes wisdom to know that there are many things you don't know.

You can have both.While intellect uses reason and logic It is not at all a contradiction to have faith or hope or wonder about the mysteries of life .Scientists cannot measure some things so they cannot be proved or disproved.Yet.

Knowledge is best defined (I think) by Peter Senge as "the capacity for effective action."\n\nThink of Obi-Wan Kenobi: he is full of knowledge, because he knows exactly what to do and how to act effectively.\n\nSo to answer your question, I think the nature of knowledge is first mental.\n\nPeople often confuse knowledge with information. They often say that books contain knowledge, when in fact, books only contain information. That information becomes knowledge when you read it and integrate it into your long-term memory so you can use it at the right time and place.\n\nI would add to Senge's definition: "Knowledge is the capacity for effective action or superior discrimination."\n\nIn other words, knowledge should enable you to make better decisions because you can evaluate information better than the average person.

I want to see how, and why people think the way they do. And yes, I'm not ashamed to say that I have learned some things from some of the peoples answers. If you want to call it wisdom. Wisdom only becomes wisdom, when that particular knowlege has been applied "landoflookbe".

Are you ready for this?  This is a branch of philosophy called epistemology, or the the study of knowledge.  In order to answer how you really know what you think you know, you first have to know what knowledge is.  That isn't easy either.  In fact, how do I even know I exist and that I'm sitting at this computer typing and am not simply a brain in the jar in some mad scientists laboratory?  (Metaphysics)

people see intelligence in different ways, its like street smarts and book smarts. And there's a difference between wisdom and being smart. It depends on how YOU judge whos intelligent, if you judge by their high office job, i feel like some people up there did have to get some heads rolling. Its like I think I'm a lot more wise then smart, I mean I dont know how to word things and crunch numbers, but i still think I'm pretty witty. So anyawys answer to your question, not all the time, no

Knowledge is nothing if you don't put it to use.\nWillingness means nothing if you don't do something.

Advice is information or knowledge someone gives you.\n\nTo Advise is the actual act of giving information, knowledge or guidance.   \n\n"Julie gave Greg some great advice about buying a new house."\n\n\n"Greg hired Julie to advise him on buying some property."
