what is the difference between logic and wisdom, and between intellectual and intelligent? can we use them in tandem in a sentence with the same meanings?

Think of the two phrases 'harsh , cold logic ' and 'Discretion is the better part of valour.' You must have got the answer--- a logical person making a logical statement need not necessarily be wise if he is not discreet, because PRUDENCE enters the fray in the territory of WISDOM. Intelligence is an adjective that qualifies a mental attribute.Intellectual is a person who puts his intelligence to use for some intellectual pursuit.Both are abstract but personally I feel that an element of vastness and generalisation is seen in the latter word. However, these words cannot be used interchangeably.An intellectual person has to be intelligent. An intelligent person need not necessarily be an intellectual-may or may not be.
