The Solomon Principles Quotes

“When we think of wisdom, we normally conclude that it is to be clever and smart. Knowledge can be described as an understanding (in my mind) of a set of truths or facts, while wisdom is the ability to apply these truths and facts to everyday living, everyday situations and circumstances that will produce a better result or outcome. Wisdom is both practical application of knowledge and illumination of understanding.”
