...all men make mistakes. But a good man yields when he knows his course is wrong, and repairs the evil. The only crime is pride.
—Sophocles

And last but not least, simply because of how true it really is:

When one's cause is so important that it is worth lying for, it becomes immediately necessary to re-evaluate the cause.
—Col. Brian D. Perry, Sr.
