Consistency Quotations
Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative.
Oscar Wilde
One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.
Maya Angelou
A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The lawyer's truth is not Truth, but consistency or a consistent expediency.
Henry David Thoreau
Consistency is contrary to nature, contrary to life. The only completely consistent people are dead.
Aldous Huxley
I have no consistency, except in politics; and that probably arises from my indifference to the subject altogether.
Lord Byron

Christina Ricci
