A wise person isn't necessarily a knowledgable one or visa versa. Knowledge is learnt, wisdom is gathered from personal experience.

Knowledge is learned from many places, family, friends, school, work, etc... Wisdom is having all of this knowledge and applying it. Basically you learn from your knowledge, apply it, grow from it, spew it out and it becomes wisdom. When someone says, "you are very wise", all that has happened is that you have learned things over the years and are able to teach and share it with others.
Great question!!!

anyone can have knowledge - it is sold in books and other areas -
wisdom is experience and other components as well - there are very wise elders that live in the rainforest but are also illiterate - but they are wise -
i think that wisdom is also knowing WHERE to obtain the knowledge that you need at any particular moment - i.e. i know a lot of college grads that may have a 4.0 average, but they still have no clue how to solve a problem -
i.e. anyone can recite time tables, that is knowledge that can be obtained by most anyone BUT knowing the WHY you would use multiplication to solve a problem is wisdom -

Knowledge can be gained by reading books. Wisdom comes from years of making mistakes!!

Knowledge is gathered objectively which means the contents of knowledge are arranged and stated without regard for relativity.
Wisdom is understanding and while knowledge may be used it is assimilated only tangentially into a thought system which accounts for relativity and the fact that man is himself a part of nature affecting and being affected relatively.

Knowledge is a component of wisdom. It is defined as the possession of facts. But it is only one component.
The components of Wisdom are knowledge, judgement, patience, and confidence. Of the four, judgement is the most important to have to be viewed as wise.

Wisdom is the consensus of many knowledges, each of the knowledges being true (generally) but not all applicable at any specific instance. It requires choices to be made, is flexible, and bespoke to the problem at hand, it is focused and can demonstrate it's sum/train of thought.

Knowledge comes from being taught. Wisdom comes from experience.

Knowledge is things that you know. Wisdom is a knowledge of yours that is very wise and good and important.

Knowledge is everything you read and learn from others. (parents,teachers, friends, etc.) Wisdom is learning how to use all you have learned (knowledge) and grow from what you do with your knowledge and being able to correct,learn or move on from the mistakes you make.
