There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs. Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them.

But when you start playing around with constitutions, just to prohibit somebody who cares about another person, it just seems to me that's not what America's about.
