   Usage: To consider means to view or contemplate with fixed
          thought. To ponder is to dwell upon with long and
          anxious attention, with a view to some practical
          result or decision. To muse is simply to think upon
          continuously with no definite object, or for the
          pleasure it gives. We consider any subject which is
          fairly brought before us; we ponder a concern
          involving great interests; we muse on the events of
          childhood.
