How SAGE is used
Common in both everyday and formal writing, often applied to advice, counsel, or the person giving it.
- Her grandmother gave sage advice about raising children.
- The old captain was known for his sage judgment in a storm.
- It would be sage to save some money before the trip.
- He nodded at the sage words of his mentor.
- The board followed the sage counsel of its longest-serving director.
