I would be wise enough to select knowledge because with knowledge I can follow the path of wisdom.

I would choose wisdom 100% because there are many knowledgeable people without wisdom who live misguided lives. On the other hand, one can be very dumb, but with the correct wisdom live a good life.
In fact, I'm actually one of the most knowledgeable persons I know. For example, I won a national math contest. However, knowledge and insight into math doesn't help me that much in life. My knowledge in math will only help me to get a career and get money. Having good friends is far more important to my life. I consider this a thing of wisdom. I thought this was a great question, tho =)

I would select wisdom then knowledge because knowledge is a part of wisdom. A wise person is not just knowlegable but also intelligent.He knows where and how to use his brain with some help from heart.

Wisdom only. Wisdom is a form of common sense. Without wisdom , u cant make use of Knowledge u gained.In practical life, U must apply wisdom to make use of ur knowledge.

I'd choose wisdom. You can have all the knowledge in the world but if you don't have the wisdom to use that knowledge correctly, it is worthless. the converse isn't true because wisdom is not always gained from knowledge, it is gained from practical experience in life.

Dear,
I will select wisdom first because by wisdom only we can select the appropriate option whose knowledge is necessary in present circumstances, by wisdom we may attempt all the problems of our life with maximum use of available resources. But if i have only knowledge and not wisdom then i can't use knowledge in appropriate manner. My means by only wisdom we may survive our life but when i have only knowledge then can't use it without wisdom . Thank you .

Wisdom is simply knowledge that is applied to life. A person is wise because he can tell you something you already know, you were just incapable of applying your own knowledge in your own way. I could say that i could name every star in the sky, does that further me in any way? Probably not. I could know a story, but to be able to derive the moral of the story and apply it to your own life? To me that would fall under the catagory of wisdom.
I also believe that you knew the answer to this question, or at least what would be popular.

I worked with associates that had PhD,s and many were like talking to a stump and they received merit through my wisdom.
It doesn't matter how many sheep skins a person can hang on the wall in their office . . . .with out wisdom they are lost or have to rely on their subordinates.
Never mistake knowledge for wisdom.
One helps you make a living.
The other helps you make a life.

Knowledge. Because you're meant to develop wisdom on your own. It's part of the exercise.
