    “Knowledge without wisdom is a house without doors.” What I think this means is that even though you have knowledge, that doesn’t mean that that you have a good quality of experience. If you don’t have wisdom, you can’t really say you’re the “best” since it’s what you need to basically have knowledge. I agree since having just knowledge doesn’t really mean that you have enough of it.
