About This Quote

This quote is by the famous philosopher Aristotle. It means that knowledge is wisdom or insight gained through experience and understanding, not just information memorized by rote. Wisdom is the ability to use knowledge in a way that benefits others, not just yourself. Wisdom comes with age, so the older you get the wiser you become. We all know someone who always has an answer for everything, but it’s only when they are asked for their opinion that they realize how little they actually know.
