The prudent person


The prudent man acts in the way he should, when he should, and for the purpose he should. The imprudent man, on the contrary, pays no attention to the manner, the time, or the proper motives, and that's where he’s at fault, whereas the prudent man, acting discreetly, weighs and measures everything. (SV XI, 42)
