If he stubbornly refuses to repent or admit he was wrong, their confidence in him and in his leadership erodes.

Time hushes all: the gong of time rang for you to come out of the hush and you were born. The gong of time will ring for you to go back to the same hush you came from. Winners and losers, the weak and the strong, those who say little and try to say it well, and those who babble and prattle their lives away, time hushes all.

C. S. Lewis

You never know how much you really believe anything until its truth of falsehood becomes a matter of life and death to you.

Wouldn't you then first discover how much you really trusted it?
