Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
:lol:

    haha!

    The fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth is called Arachibutyrophobia.
    Being able to say "Arachibutyrophobia" while peanut butter is stuck to the roof of your mouth is a skill.
    Pick up my debut novel here on amazon: Jonny Bails Floatin (in paperback) (also available on Kindle for $2.99)

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epistemology

    Epistemology is one of my favorite branches in philosophy. A basic course in high school should be f'ing required. So many people clamoring (and sometimes killing) about what IS and what they KNOW when really it's just a transient belief that you won't even believe anymore in a couple of decades, years or even months...
    Everything not forbidden is compulsory and eveything not compulsory is forbidden. You are free... free to do what the government says you can do.

    ummm wisdom is......being able to admit that I don't know what the heck Epistemology is.
    knowledge is being able to use the cut and paste option on your computer cuz I know I sure as hell couldn't
    spell or even pronounce the word.... :lol:

    Manly P. Hall - From Knowledge To Wisdom (part 1 of 6, find the rest yourself)

    Good stuff.
    Hall was a kooky old duff.
    I like him a lot.
    :D

    If I opened it now would you not understand?

    "That your knowledge may be transmuted into wisdom, and the eye of vision control your living processes and all your undertakings, is the desire (deep within my heart) for each and all of you."
    a.a.b, discipleship in the new age, vol. i, pg 102

    mantra:
    "I strive towards understanding.
    Let wisdom take the place of knowledge in my life."
    a.a.b, discipleship in the new age, vol. ii, pg. 140

    This doesn't quite fit, but this thread reminded me of a quote from Hoosiers.

    Look, mister, there's... two kinds of dumb, uh... the guy that gets naked and runs out in the snow and barks at the moon, and, uh, the guy who does the same thing in my living room. First one don't matter, the second one you're kinda forced to deal with.

    Party On, Dudes!

    Oh, gosh, I wish. I just pretend to be that brilliant! ;) The quote is from the Tao Te Ching. Thank you for reminding me to post the source! :D
