Knowledge is nothing but a collection of information. When we understand certain patterns, we are said to have the knowledge of that pattern. Wisdom is all about understanding principles. While knowledge only provides information, wisdom guides us to when to use that knowledge or whether to use it or not. Wisdom is about discerning wrong or right. Human mind is more powerful than machines simply because machines can only store information or knowledge; it doesn't have the faculty of wisdom. While knowledge is more about giving answers, wisdom is about asking questions. Knowledge resides in a mind but wisdom requires a heart, a soul. Thus, it is always beneficial to be a man of wisdom than to be a knowledgeable person.
