I think intelligence is being book smart and wisdom is a more worldly knowledge.

I think that at it's most basic wisdom is a collection of knowledge from outside sources and from within oneself. I think intelligence is more of an innate ability to think, figure out a singular event. I would prefer to have wisdom as I believe one of the other facets of wisdom is a compassionate and fair use of facts and intelligence and intuition, etc.

Intelligence: The capacity to acquire and apply knowledge, especially toward a purposeful goal.
Wisdom: The ability to discern or judge what is true, right, or lasting; insight.
I'd rather be wise.

I believe you can be born with intelligence-no prior experiences or learning is needed. However, either you have it or you don't.
Wisdom comes with age, experience, and learning. Wisdom can also be gained at any stage.
A wise man knows he's not intelligent, but an intelligent man doesn't know he's not wise.

Wisdom is scholarly knowledge, intelligence is the understanding and ability to learn and acquire wisdom.

Wisdom is something you attain, intelligence is something you are either born with or not! I'd rather have intelligence because you can't have wisdom without it!!!

I think wisdom comes with experience and intelligence comes from knowledge.

If I was independantly wealthy..I say wisdom..
but because people in this world seem to value intelligence more..and I need a good paying job to support myself..I'll say intelligence..
When I retire..I'll go back to wisdom.

Intelligent is the learning part and Wisdom is the learning from your mistakes part.

They're both the same in my book, which is the good 'ol dictionary. Wisdom is the ability to discern or judge what is true, right, or lasting -- insight; common sense; good judgment; intelligence.
Intelligence is the capacity to acquire and apply knowledge; the faculty of thought and reason; superior powers of mind.
