As Ralph Waldo Emerson said:

"A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do."

One of the writers I work with used this quote just the other day when we were talking about consistency in a certain situation (and it's not the first time I've heard this quote at work).
