Wisdom is the mixture of three.

for all  intentions and purpose people say both but truthfully

wisdom is having gained knowledge, understanding, experience, discretion, and intuitive understanding, along with a capacity to apply these qualities well. Or an easy way to say it wisdom is not just knowing something but being able to apply it.

experience is more valuable then age.

wisdom has nothing to do with both,there are other factors countable in this regards.

Answer 6

Experience.Age is nothing but a number.Wisdom is not a number,no,Wisdom is what people have learned throughout their life nevertheless their age.

Answer 7

I've met more wise old men than wise young ones.

Of course no matter how old you get if you stay on the same block and never cross the street...you may have the mileage but you haven't been any where.

Answer 8

The difference is,when you are young you don't see your mistakes so easily,and when you do ,often you choose to ignore them. As you get older you wise up to where you went wrong in life,so your less likely to make the same mistakes again.

Answer 9

BOTH.

SOME WHO HAVE GONE THROUGH AN EXPERIENCE

HAVE GAINED WISDOM BECAUSE THEY NOW HAVE KNOWLEDGE THEY CAN SHARE.

SOME HAVE GAINED WISDOM THROUGH AGE BECAUSE THEY HAVE SEEN/WITNESSED THINGS THAT MOST HAVEN'T.

Answer 10

experience.  age does nothing except give you more time to experience things. believe me, there are lots of old stupid people in this world, so i know its not age!

Answer 11

Both.

Answer 12

both age and experience

Answer 13

Age and experience go hand in hand and yes wisdom does come from age and compiled life experience.

Answer 14

by experience and nothing else!!!

Answer 15

Experience because you can be older, but not have gone though anything or learned much throughout your life.  Experience is where your learning takes place.

Answer 16

We hope that wisdom comes with age becuase you gain it through experience.

Answer 17

it comes with experience.

Answer 18

Experience is the knowing and understanding of events. Age is the mere passage of time. Some people who are wise learn from things the first time around; others might experience the same thing multiple times and never learn.
