Reflection:
"Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is knowing not to put one in a fruit salad" - Miles Kington.
It's easier than ever to acquire all sorts of information, which an intelligent person can interpret and turn into knowledge. That's usually not enough to guarantee a successful application of that knowledge, however. Wisdom is the practical discrimination of that knowledge, which comes with experience and with common sense.
For any doubters that a Tomato is a fruit:
