Knowledge is not the same as wisdom. You can know all the facts and still not be able to act wisely. But without knowledge, it is harder to be wise —— even if what wisdom tells us is that knowledge is very often provisional and that we cannot wait to have certainty about every fact before we act. Dan Smith
About This Quote

When a person has knowledge, they have all the facts and information they need to make a decision. This person will be more likely to make a wise decision as long as they have the facts, but it is possible that they will make a decision without all the facts or their own personal experience. In some cases, this could lead to making the wrong choice, but it is also possible that this person may make a good choice with no information.
