Caution

next
Caution is the quality of approaching situations with thought, prudence, and care. It encourages us to take time to assimilate and understand our environment and history prior to launching into action. Caution often prevents mistakes and unnecessary detours by reminding us to listen and to learn. Judiciously applied—without reverting to fear, superstition, or cynicism—caution allows us to process and consider so we can then proceed with greater clarity and confidence.

Caution - Orderliness - Virtue
The habit of saving is itself an education. It fosters every virtue, teaches self-denial, cultivates the sense of order, trains to forethought, and so broadens the mind.
