WEDNESDAY 20TH FEBRUARY - the difference between knowledge and wisdom

I heard these few words said by Gyles Brandreth on the radio last week after the announcement of the death of this well regarded polymath, writer, broadcaster and jazz.

KNOWLEDGE is knowing a tomato is a fruit
but
WISDOM is not putting it in a fruit salad
.
(Miles Kington 13/5/1941 - 30/1/2008)

It made me smile.
