Same meaning?

Knowledge is wealth that cannot be stolen.

Can I rewrite this proverb like the following?

A wealth of knowledge cannot be stolen.

Do they have the same meaning?

Not necessarily. "A wealth of" usually implies a large amount of something. When you say "knowledge is wealth", in the first sentence, you're just saying that it is a valuable asset.
