If you have never taken the oath to support and defend the Constitution, then support and defend someone who has.

And having once chosen, never to seek to return to the crossroads of that decision-for even if one chooses wrongly, the choice cannot be unmade.

Surely if we knew what bitterness fate held in store, we would shrink back in fear and let the cup of life pass us by untasted.

All knowledge is worth having.
