Showing discretion is an admirable trait. It is usually not a good idea to rush into a situation without showing some means of discretion. When you are trying make the "right" decision you will usually think out the situation checking the outcomes of your actions.

Many characters show this trait, but none better than Gandalf. Gandalf is the wisest character in Lord of the Rings and he shows this by his discretion. It is very difficult to be wise without showing discretion. Gandalf does this many times in the story, but one of the key moments is when he goes to his elder Saruman to find out whether Frodo possesses the "one ring".

When wisdom is complimented by discretion you receive great outcomes. Gandalf's wisdom is far beyond that of any other character in the Lord of the Rings, and his discretion helps to show how wise he is because without wisdom you would not have discretion. A fool rushes into a situation unprepared, but the wise man is discreet about his actions.
