Knowledge and Wisdom

Laudator Temporis Acti has a very interesting bit this morning quoting William Cowper on the difference between knowledge and wisdom. While I agree wholly with the sentiments expressed, I believe that I can offer a much more succinct dollop on the same subject:

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting one in a fruit salad.
