Text Quotes
Nevertheless, he must be cautious in believing and acting, and must not inspire fear of his own accord, and must proceed in a temperate manner with prudence and humanity, so that too much confidence does not render him incautious, and too much diffidence does not render him intolerant. From this arises the question whether it is better to be loved more than feared, or feared more than loved (Prudence Quotes)
Nothing more enhances authority than silence. It is the crowning virtue of the strong, the refuge of the weak, the modesty of the proud, the pride of the humble, the prudence of the wise, and the sense of fools. To speak is to... dissipate one’s strength; whereas what action demands is concentration. Silence is a necessary preliminary to the ordering of one’s thoughts (Prudence Quotes)
Invulnerable to time, dedicated to the messianic happiness of thinking for us, knowing that we knew that he would not take any decision for us that did not have our measure, for he had not survived everything because of his inconceivable courage or his infinite prudence but because he was the only one among us who knew the real size of our destiny (Prudence Quotes)
I hold it to be of great prudence for men to abstain from threats and insulting words towards any one, for neither the one nor the other in any way diminishes the strength of the enemy; but the one makes him more cautious, and the other increases his hatred of you, and makes him more persevering in his efforts to injure you (Prudence Quotes)
Hear the words of prudence, give heed unto her counsels, and store them in thine heart; her maxims are universal, and all the virtues lean upon her; she is the guide and the mistress of human life (Prudence Quotes)
Mix a little foolishness with your prudence: It’s good to be silly at the right moment (Prudence Quotes)
It is only with prudence, sagacity, and much dexterity that great aims are accomplished, and all obstacles surmounted. Otherwise nothing is accomplished (Prudence Quotes)
In civil war it is not given to every man to know how to conduct himself. There is something more than military prudence necessary; there is need of sagacity and the knowledge of men (Prudence Quotes)
Prudence and justice tell me that in electricity and steam there is more love for man than in chastity and abstinence from meat (Prudence Quotes)
That generous maxim, that it is much more prudence to acquit two persons, though actually guilty, than to pass sentence of condemnation on one that is virtuous and innocent (Prudence Quotes)
Nothing more unqualifies a man to act with prudence than a misfortune that is attended with shame and guilt (Prudence Quotes)
Those who get their living by their daily labor... Have nothing to stir them up to be serviceable but their wants which it is a prudence to relieve, but folly to cure (Prudence Quotes)
Many a man wins glory for prudence by seeking advice, then seeking advice as to what advice would be best to take, and finally following appetite (Prudence Quotes)
Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. If we continue to develop our technology without wisdom or prudence, our servant may prove to be our executioner (Prudence Quotes)
It is a madness to make fortune the mistress of events, because in herself she is nothing, but is ruled by prudence (Prudence Quotes)
The ordinary saying is, count money after your father; so the same prudence adviseth to measure the ends of all counsels, though uttered by never so intimate a friend (Prudence Quotes)
Fortitude has its extremes as well as the rest of the virtues, and ought, like them, to be always attended by prudence (Prudence Quotes)
It is a truth but too well known, that rashness attends youth, as prudence does old age (Prudence Quotes)
In adversity be spirited and firm, and with equal prudence lessen your sail when filled with a too fortunate gale of prosperity (Prudence Quotes)
Prudence is a necessary ingredient in all the virtues, without which they degenerate into folly and excess (Prudence Quotes)
Had I miscarried, I had been a villain; for men judge actions always by events; but when we manage by a just foresight, success is prudence, and possession right (Prudence Quotes)
Remember that nothing will supply the want of prudence, and that negligence and irregularity long continued will make knowledge useless, wit ridiculous, and genius contemptible (Prudence Quotes)
Prudence supposes the value of the end to be assumed, and refers only to the adaptation of the means. It is the relation of right means for given ends (Prudence Quotes)
Cunning is none of the best nor worst qualities; it floats between virtue and vice; there is scarce any exigence where it may not, and perhaps ought not to be supplied by prudence (Prudence Quotes)
If the prudence of reserve and decorum dictates silence in some circumstances, in others prudence of a higher order may justify us in speaking our thoughts (Prudence Quotes)
Prudence is that virtue by which we discern what is proper to be done under the various circumstances of time and place (Prudence Quotes)
Swift calls discretion low prudence; it is high prudence, and one of the most important elements entering into either social or political life (Prudence Quotes)
Cowardice is not synonymous with prudence. It often happens that the better part of discretion is valor (Prudence Quotes)
A man improves more by reading the story of a person eminent for prudence and virtue, than by the finest rules and precepts of morality (Prudence Quotes)
To how many blockheads of my time has a cold and taciturn demeanor procured the credit of prudence and capacity! (Prudence Quotes)
