Dear friend,
Yes. There is a huge difference. I think you know the meaning of the term "Witch". So, let me explain you "Sage".
A "Sage" in Hinduism or Buddism is a very sacred person, just like a "Pope" or a "Bishop" in Christianity or a "Thirthankara" in Jainism, who attains the highest knowledge of "Life" (the living) and "God" (the Universe) and their relationships. The Sage knows, understands, believes, and accepts that there is nothing eternal in this world than the "knowledge" (of the truth) and performs his duties without his attachment (i.e., thinking that everything in this world is mine & having wants accordingly) to this world.

A sage is someone who is very wise.
A witch works to alter or bend reality though spells.
A witch might be sage, and a sage might be a witch, but they are independent of each other.
I call myself sage, and I am a witch, but some people would say I am neither.

well first you need to define these terms, sage and witch.
a witch is someone who is in rebellion against G-D, according to the definition in TheTorah.
and a sage is defined as a scholarly person who has aquired religious wisdom, usualy in some spiritual or religious reguard. such as the sages of Ysrael, with their knowledge of G-D in TheTorah.
but the problem is that just because someone might be called a sage, does not mean they are or are not involved in witchraft.
but if a person is either actualy trying to be true to G-D, or are being as true to G-D as can possibly be. then they could not be considered as witches. inadvertent rebellion against G-D, is not the same offence as, willfull and wanton rebellion.

Sages tend to be, historically, more scholarly than witches.
Sages are wise... but the word Witch comes from "wit" which is, also, wisdom. Thusly, wise.
There may be a more substantial difference, but, mainly, they're only titles.
