i see it as you learn intelligence(ex. school, internet)
wisdom is learned through life experiences.

idk no menace u wrong for once lol but i also think people can be wise without being intelligent..shu i'm not extremely intelligent but i consider myself a very wise woman.

A smart man knows what to say, a wise man knows whether or not to say it.

in⋅tel⋅li⋅gence
   /ɪnˈtɛlɪdʒəns/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [in-tel-i-juhns] Show IPA Pronunciation
–noun
1. capacity for learning, reasoning, understanding, and similar forms of mental activity; aptitude in grasping truths, relationships, facts, meanings, etc.
2. manifestation of a high mental capacity: He writes with intelligence and wit.

wis⋅dom
   /ˈwɪzdəm/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [wiz-duhm] Show IPA Pronunciation
–noun
1. the quality or state of being wise; knowledge of what is true or right coupled with just judgment as to action; sagacity, discernment, or insight.
2. scholarly knowledge or learning: the wisdom of the schools.
3. wise sayings or teachings; precepts.

so it's like i said, but with added aspects:

Intelligence is both obtained and your capacity to obtain knowledge.

Wisdom is the reflection of all aspects of knowledge; common sense and scholarly knowledge.

so therefore...

-you may have knowledge without common sense and therefore not have wisdom and vice versa.
-to be wise you must be educated, have common knowledge, and apply both in all situations.
