knowledge is something tht u get by reading observing and by many other sources
while wisdom is a simply nothin but common sense.
which is most difficult to apply on regular basis
for example
i know it is better to study an hour a day compare to burning midnight oil.
thts common sense

I believe knowledge is knowing something and wisdom is knowing what to do with knowledge.
Here's a site that quickly addresses this very question:

I would say Knowledge is what you remember in the written word from a book, wisdom I think is an overall thing, Commonsense is another thing all together.

Intresting question. I think that to an extent the two are intertwined.
Brigham Young once said 'There is no knowledge, no light, no wisdom that you are in possession of, but what you have recieved it from some source'
Thus implying that knowledge and wisdom are both a learnt thing. I think you could start to identify the difference between the two by saying that it is possible to have 'useless' knowledge' but it is never possible to have 'useless wisdom'.
