This is so so good … I had never known these profound distinctions between Intelligence and Wisdom Worth reading on …
1. Intelligence leads to arguments.
Wisdom leads to settlements.
2. Intelligence is power of will.
Wisdom is power OVER will.
3. Intelligence is heat, it burns.
Wisdom is warmth, it comforts.
4. Intelligence is pursuit of knowledge, it tires the seeker.
Wisdom is pursuit of truth, it inspires the seeker.
5. Intelligence is holding on.
Wisdom is letting go.
6. Intelligence leads you.
Wisdom guides you.
7. An intelligent man thinks he knows everything.
A wise man knows that there is still something to learn
8. An intelligent man always tries to prove his point.
A wise man knows there really is no point.
9. An intelligent man freely gives unsolicited advice.
A wise man keeps his counsel until all options are considered.
10. An intelligent man understands what is being said.
A wise man understands what is left unsaid.
11. An intelligent man speaks when he has to say something.
A wise man speaks when he has something to say.
12. An intelligent man sees everything as relative.
A wise man sees everything as related.
13. An intelligent man tries to control the mass flow.
A wise man navigates the mass flow.
14. An intelligent man preaches.
A wise man reaches.
Intelligence is good but wisdom achieves better results.

You’re wise.
I hope you’re having a great week. Keep smiling. 🙂
Thanks love. I am not wise. I am just aged!
I really think more people should read this!! Pearls of wisdom for sure and a dash of intelligence for certain!
I got this from a friend, and I loved it. You are right, more people should read it.
This is excellent! Yes, we need both…knowledge is important, but wisdom comes from experience, understanding, good judgment…and is compassionate. We need more wise people in our world. Thank you for being one!
(((HUGS))) 🙂
Oh hush Carolyn! Like I told Matt, I am not wise. If I were, I wouldn’t have made all the decisions in life that sometimes keep me awake. I am just aged, and people think I am wise! Pfffttt! lol.
love and hugs.
Well, I think you ARE wise. I’ve learned a lot from you! 🙂
You are right. Better to be wise.
comes with a price sometimes.
Yes it does.
It’s wonderful; (where did you find it?)
I’ve just finished Walking with Grandfather by James Marshall, and in essence, the whole book and man, was about this very thing.
A friend from Chicago sent it. I thought it was too good not to share.
Excellent poem dialecticly shaped, Zakiah.
