Wisdom is reusing old thoughts because you're no longer accustomed to having new ones....or that's what I tell my dad anyway.
There's an interesting symbolism in the Chinese language on this subject actually. 知 means "knowledge" and 智 means "wisdom". Notice they have two symbols in common. The third symbol that makes the difference between knowledge and wisdom means "days".
Edit: okay, so Chinese characters don't show up on this board. Erm...just copy and paste this into your address bar if you want to see them: http://translate.google.com/translate_t?prev=hp&hl=en&js=y&text=%E7%9F%A5%E6%99%BA&file=&sl=auto&tl=en&history_state0=#auto|en|%E7%9F%A5%20%2C%20%E6%99%BA
