Knowledge vs. wisdom

Though knowledge and wisdom may seem alike, they are really different. As a matter of fact they only have two things in common: Both require a brain and both are very hard to obtain. A knowledgeable person might dress in a fashion that can be accepted by everyone, not too conservative and not too abstract. When a knowledgeable person enters a room, she tries not to make herself too noticed though she does want everyone …

…person would know what needed to be said and how, already knowing the why. The most direct difference between wisdom and knowledge is this: knowledge is only information, until it is successfully retained in one's mind. Without a brain, knowledge is simply information, whereas the application of knowledge, or wisdom, cannot exist without a mind, not being something that one can read about or memorize, because if there is no brain, there is no wisdom.
