Wisdom

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad. (Arthur Brooks, author and speaker)

Tomato is an interesting word. Is it pronounced tomAto or tomAHto? Is the plural tomato or tomatoes (either is correct, by the way). Is it fruit or vegetable? Apparently, it is a fruit, but Brooks is right. You don’t want to put it in a fruit salad, but it’s a necessity in a vegetable salad. Its usage is a small but excellent example of practical wisdom.

Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true wisdom. All who obey his commandments will grow in wisdom. (Psalm 111:10)
