providentia. See Prudent, and cf. Providence.]
The quality or state of being prudent; wisdom in the way of
caution and provision; discretion; carefulness; hence, also,
economy; frugality.

Prudence is principally in reference to actions to be
done, and due means, order, seasons, and method of
doing or not doing. --Sir M. Hale.
[1913 Webster]
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. --Whewell.

Syn: Wisdom; forecast; providence; considerateness;
judiciousness; discretion; caution; circumspection;
