Arthur C. Clarke

Information is not knowledge, knowledge is not wisdom, and wisdom is not foresight.

"But it is vital to remember that information – in the sense of raw data – is not knowledge; that knowledge is not wisdom; and that wisdom is not foresight. But information is the first essential step to all of these."
- Arthur C. Clarke
