I completely agree

Intelligence needs wisdom to guide it. Buuuut, without intelligence to apply it, wisdom is wasted. So I guess they need each other.

intelligence is knowing facts

wisdom is knowing how to apply them

I wish I had more wisdom

It would be wrong to think that they're the same thing. Intelligence is how fast you can assimilate information and extrapolate meaning. Wisdom is taking that information and plotting a best course after considering all things. Both things are valuable and related in a directional sense, but wisdom is ultimate. By this argument a slow person can actually outperform a quick thinker: much like the tortoise versus the hare. Which was wiser? The tortoise!
Intelligence if you're in school, wisdom for life problems

intelligence is always good to have, but i have seen many highly intelligent people that have zero common sense, wisdom is the combination of intelligence with life experience which allows for sound decision making.

I think they go together like age and wisdom do..

Wisdom can be incredibly subjective.

Wisdom, I think. Children are often intelligent, but wisdom comes with life experience.
