Intelligence vs. Wisdom

[johngalt]

Intelligence is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.

Wisdom is knowing that it doesn't belong in a fruit salad.

 

[Watchdog]

It was a brave man who first took a bite out of a tomato.

 

[g-dad]

It was a brave man who first took a bite out of a tomato.

That can be said for sooo many food items. Wonder what the communication was when the first egg was eaten. "Hey, let's eat that thing that dropped from that birds butt." Or something to that effect.

 

[Roadtrash]

Or an oyster, mmmm that looks good.

I knew there was a reason I don't eat eggs.

Oysters are highly overrated. I tried a dozen once, and only six of them worked.

 

[BC38]

How about a lobster or a crab?

Hey! I'll bet that great big scary looking water bug would taste delicious!

(The fact that they are delicious is beside the point)

Lobster: cockroach of the sea.

POOR DECISIONS!

 

[Rustyt1953]

And where does wisdom come from?

EXPERIENCE

Not according to Muss.

 

[Kanewpadle]

Not according to Muss.

DULY NOTED......

 

[LoboGunLeather]

Knowledge can be acquired by experience. Wisdom only comes when we are able to learn from the experience of others.

 

[Kanewpadle]

wis·dom

noun
the quality of having experience, knowledge, and good judgment; the quality of being wise.

 

[Muley Gil]

How about the first guy that decided that he was going to nail a metal shoe on the hoof of a 600 lb horse?

 

[two-bit cowboy]

Wisdom is using experience to a good end.

 

[chiefbob81]

I r intellagint, but what does that have to do with my teeth?

 

[soFlaNative]

Intelligence is to know the answer to "Does this make my butt look big?".
Wisdom is working around the answer.

 

[OFT II]

Or an oyster, mmmm that looks good.

Wisdom is knowing that an oyster is better if you shuck it before eating it.

 

[snuffy51]

Intelligence is having the wisdom to know when it is time to leave. Really helps one to grow old.

 

[Mr.Harry]

But is salsa a .... fruit salad? And then, what about when you put mango, or peach or pineapple in it? Hmmmm....

 

[Mr.Harry]

Segment from a favorite Poet and Poem of mine, 90 degrees North by Randall Jarrell -
“Nothing comes from Nothing. Darkness from the darkness.
Pain comes from the darkness and we call it wisdom -
It is pain.”

 

[pharmer]

Intellegence: She asks " If I die today which of my girlfriends would you want to be with?" Knowing there is no answer that doesn't include a beating. Wisdom is complementing her girlish figure. Joe

 

[Gulfecho]

Intellect talks, wisdom listens

 

[fiasconva]

Wisdom is knowing she eventually is going to ask one of those questions; intelligence is knowing how to fake a coughing fit and not having to answer.

 

[Rustyt1953]

Intelligence is your IQ.

Wisdom is not telling anyone what your IQ is.

 

[Mike G 0351]

Were dose common sense fit in..

 

[29aholic]

Were dose common sense fit in..

Unfortunately these days very few have any

 

[Rustyt1953]

Where does common sense fit in?

When deciding if I should take Ambien and Dulcolax together.

 

[Toolguy]

And where does wisdom come from?

EXPERIENCE

One of my Ancient Chinese Proverbs I just made up-
Experience is what you get right after you need it.
