Knowledge shrinks as wisdom grows.

It implies that individuals with wisdom understand that there is always more to learn and therefore feel that their own knowledge is limited or shrinking in comparison. It implies that the more wisdom one gains, the more humble they become about their own knowledge and the more they appreciate the vastness and complexity of the world and its knowledge.
