More differences between wisdom, knowledge, and intelligence (according to me and others):
-Intelligence is the ability to solve a problem. Wisdom is the ability to avoid a problem.
-Greater and greater intelligence allows you to solve harder and harder problems. Greater and greater wisdom allows you to have fewer and fewer problems.
-Those with knowledge know the things they should do; those with wisdom do them
-To attain knowledge, add things every day. To attain wisdom, remove things every day.
-Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power.
-Wisdom is not a product of schooling but of the lifelong attempt to acquire it.
