Steady, in all things ... and human too!
The joy, and the goal, is in you figuring it out when you become wise.
Yours truly,
Jonnie

I believe a person of steady wisdom talks as any person would, walks as any person would, sits as any person would. In my opinion, every man is a man of wisdom. I believe if a person makes the right choices using common sense are the marks for him to be known constantly for him to enjoy the joy of contemplation. He appears as any other human being but he uses better judgment and the common sense we all have.

A man of steady wisdom does not fail his own beliefs, his own morality, neither in times of ease, or great upheaval in the world around him. Holding fast to the utter truth of life, which IS wisdom.
He talks in truth, answers questions with questions. He sits not with his back to the wall but presents himself fully without fear.
He walks with eyes open to the world so that he may see it.
The marks of such a man are not worn on the outside.
But these marks are seen by those who are open to see and to benefit.
He who is in constant state of contemplation understands not only himself, but the world around him.
Silence is treasure, in a maniacally paced world.
Without contemplation, introspection, one will never know their true self, and will never truly understand another.
Such a man of steady wisdom remains in a state of seeking, for he is aware of the importance of self, other, happiness and yes.. suffering.
Contemplation to points of semi or full meditation reveal many things. The man of steady wisdom then appears as he envisions himself, not what the world envisions.

Jayakrishnaathmavidya, shouldn't you be meditating?
Seriously, though, to answer the questions... I think a person of wisdom talks wisely, kindly, gently, humbly, and sparsely. I think he (or she) sits and walks attentively, with awareness of the here and now. I think such a person is calm and content, regardless of the circumstances. And I think such a person is fairly plain, doesn't make an outward show out of his so-called holiness or wisdom.
Have you seen the movie Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade? There's a scene where Indian Jones has to select the cup of Christ from a huge assortment of cups. Most of them are very ornate, covered in diamonds and jewels. But one of them is a plain old wooden cup, very simple and easily overlooked. This one is, of course, the cup of Christ. I think the false wise man is like the fake cups, flashy and pretentious. The truly wise man is like the one wooden cup that everyone overlooks.

The man of wisdom will talk, walk and sit like a wise man should do.... unhurried, undisturbed and calm. He will not talk until talked to or talked into. He will sit when needed to contemplate. He will walk with an assured gait .
More than anything he will look straight into your eyes .

Sitting posture is usually padmasana. Voice is low, firm and each word well weighed. The eyes are fixed and firm. The walk is brisk and with a straight body. Irrespective of weather and time, the appearance is always fresh and glowing.

He talks, sits, and walks according to his nature! He come in his own time and goes in the same manner. Only those who are so incline have noticed yet even amoung them, few will ever know him, although many may claim to understand him!

I think that there is no particular stereotype for such a person . This person such as we speak of could be any nationality with any outward appearance yet contain all of these attributes.

He appears eager to learn because wisdom is knowing that you do not know everything.
