About This Quote
In this quote, Don Miguel Ruiz was describing the difference between wisdom and knowledge. Wisdom is the ability to see the whole picture – a complete awareness of all aspects of a situation – whereas knowledge is a limited view – a snapshot – of a situation. The difference between these two types of information is that one can be easily stolen or taken away from you, while the other cannot.
