Though knowledge and wisdom may seem alike‚ they are really very different. They actually only have two things in common - they both involve the mind and both are hard to acquire. Someone who has knowledge would know that a tomato is a fruit‚ but someone who had wisdom would know not to put them in a fruit salad.
