Data is not information, information is not knowledge, knowledge is not understanding, understanding is not wisdom.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Information is not knowledge.
Many people make the mistake of confusing information with knowledge. They are not the same thing. Knowledge involves the interpretation of information. Knowledge involves listening.
You can have data without information, but you cannot have information without data.
Knowledge is knowing that we cannot know.
Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens.
Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, live it, be fortified by it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it.
Knowledge is power. Information is power. The secreting or hoarding of knowledge or information may be an act of tyranny camouflaged as humility.
Information is not knowledge, and knowledge is not wisdom. Reading - even browsing - an old book can yield sustenance denied by a database search. Patience is a virtue, gluttony a sin.
The mere imparting of information is not education.
Knowledge is a process of piling up facts; wisdom lies in their simplification.
