Human foresight often leaves its proudest possessor only a choice of evils.
Deliberate with caution, but act with decision and yield with graciousness, or oppose with firmness.
Accustom yourself to submit on all and every occasion, and on the most minute, no less than on the most important circumstances of life, to a small present evil, to obtain a greater distant good. This will give decision, tone, and energy to the mind, which, thus disciplined, will often reap victory from defeat and honor from repulse.
