Gauging the true worth of anything by its usefulness and appropriateness to our life
A judgment grounded upon the true value of things, and not the common opinion of them
Not seeing what is directly before us, but discerning those things which may come to pass
Using our knowledge to see opportunities, risks, challenges and the things that we need to do
The olive that springeth from a heart, bloometh on the tongue, and beareth fruit in the actions
The knowledge and use of what is best, most just, most proper, or most conducive to prosperity or happiness
The ability to make a decision based on the combination of knowledge, experience, and intuitive understanding
The perception of the unimportance of the things we call great, and of the importance of the things we call small
Pure, peaceable, gentle, easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy
The power of judging rightly and following the soundest course of action, based on knowledge, experience, and understanding
Applying relevant knowledge in an insightful way, especially to different situations from that in which the knowledge was gained
Correctly discerning where we are free to mould reality according to our wishes and where we must accept the unalterable with tranquillity
The only thing which can relieve us from the sway of the passions and the fear of danger, and which can teach us to bear the injuries of fortune itself with moderation, and which shows us all the ways which lead to tranquility and peace
