The dictionary

"sagacity |səˈgasitē|
noun
the quality of being sagacious : a man of great political sagacity."
"sagacious |səˈgā sh əs|
adjective
having or showing keen mental discernment and good judgment; shrewd : they were sagacious enough to avoid any outright confrontation. See note at sensible ."
"A sensible person brings an umbrella when rain is forecast. A rational one studies the weather map, observes the movement of the clouds across the sky, listens to the forecast on the radio, and then decides whether or not an umbrella is necessary.
Sensible implies the use of common sense and an appreciation of the value of experience (: a sensible decision not to travel until his injuries had healed), while rational suggests the ability to reason logically and to draw conclusions from inferences (: a rational explanation for why she failed the exam).
Lucid and sane, like rational, are associated with coherent thinking. Lucid suggests a mind free of internal pressures or distortions (: lucid intervals during which he was able to recognize his wife and children), while sane indicates freedom from psychosis or mental derangement (: judged to have been sane when she committed the crime). Sane also has a meaning very close to that of sensible (: a sane approach to disciplining problem teenagers).
A sagacious person is an extremely shrewd one who is both discerning and practical. He or she can look out the window and tell whether it's going to rain by studying the facial expressions of passersby as they glance nervously at the sky."
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
