Prudence on the other hand is concerned with the affairs of men,
and with things that can be the object of deliberation. For we say that to deliberate well
is the most characteristic function of the prudent man; but no one deliberates about
things that cannot vary nor yet about variable things that are not a means to some end,
and that end a good attainable by action; and a good deliberator in general is a man who
can arrive by calculation at the best of the goods attainable by man.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
