Of two evils, the lesser must always be chosen De duobus malis, minus est semper eligendum

O Lord, Thou knowest that which is best for us; let this or that be done, as Thou shalt please. Give what Thou wilt, how much Thou wilt, and when Thou wilt. Deal with me as thou thinkest best. Place me where Thou wilt, and deal with me in all things just as Thou wilt. Behold, I am Thy servant, prepared for all things: I desire not to live unto myself, but unto Thee; and oh, that I could do it worthily and perfectly!

Who is so wise as to have a perfect knowledge of all things? Therefore trust not too much to thine own opinion, but be ready also to hear the opinion of others. Thought thine own opinion be good, yet if for the love of God thou foregoest it, and followest that of another, thou shalt the more profit thereby.

Activate yourself to duty by remembering your position, who you are, and what you have obliged yourself to be.

It is much safer to obey than to rule.

For man plans, but God arranges.

I have often heard, that it is safer to hear and to take counsel, than to give it.
