Wisdom vs. Intelligence

[Gruntling]

What is the difference between wisdom and intelligence? And which might be more important to have?

Browsing on the Internet I found a statement like this:

Intelligence is knowing as much as you can
Wisdom is knowing you really don't know much but also knowing how to apply that which you do.

What's your take?

Wisdom is the quote you posted, Gruntling, and it also and ONLY comes with age.

Intelligence is how much you know, and what you know. You can be wise, but unintelligent. You can be intelligent but unwise.

not true[1]

The only way to be intelligent or wise is to come to terms with how little you know.

[Gruntling]

Wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age, it comes with experience.

I don't know shit about philosophy or any of this silly new age wisdom vs intelligence jargon but stephen's right

Wisdom speaks, but knowledge listens.

Very true. It is so obvious but many people think it does come with age. Unless they mean age for experience. There is no way someone can become wise just because the time passes. There is something required of us. Some people just never use it. I've known this in my family.

Experience comes with age

**** it, every post by me from now on in this thread will involve 70s/80s rock

Some experience is to be gained with age, but not age solely.
