Whether prudence is in all who have grace?
Objections
❌ Objection 1 : It would seem that prudence is not in all who have grace. Prudence requires diligence, that one may foresee aright what has to be done. But many who have grace have not this diligence. Therefore not all who have grace have prudence.
❌ Objection 2 : Further, a prudent man is one who takes good counsel, as stated above (Article [8], Objection [2]; Article [13], Objection [3]). Yet many have grace who do not take good counsel, and need to be guided by the counsel of others. Therefore not all who have grace, have prudence
❌ Objection 3 : Further, the Philosopher says (Topic. iii, 2) that "young people are not obviously prudent." Yet many young people have grace. Therefore prudence is not to be found in all who have grace.
