There is a difference — often a big difference — between being smart and being wise. 

Smart people talk a lot. Wise people listen a lot.

Smart people know what to say. Wise people know when and how to say it.

Smart people know how to get what they want. Wise people know what’s worth wanting.

Smart people are intelligent. Wise people are insightful.

Smart people seek knowledge. Wise people seek understanding.

It’s easier for a wise people to gain knowledge than for smart people to gain wisdom.

Being smart doesn’t always humble you … wisdom does.
