True consistency, that of the prudent and the wise, is to act in conformity with circumstances and not to act always the same way under a change of circumstances.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Consistency is found in that work whose whole and detail are suitable to the occasion. It arises from circumstance, custom, and nature.
Measures of policy are necessarily controlled by circumstances; and, consequently, what may be wise and expedient under certain circumstances might be eminently unwise and impolitic under different circumstances. To persist in acting in the same way under circumstances essentially different would be folly and obstinacy, and not consistency.
Across professions, consistency is a direct product of work ethic.
Consistency is the most overrated of all human virtues... I'm someone who changes his mind all the time.
Consistency for me is everything.
When you're so consistent, people have to stand up and take notice. I don't think people recognise or praise consistency enough.
But change must always be balanced with some degree of consistency.
In Gov. Huckabee's case, consistency is seen as principle... and that's incredibly valuable to voters.
Don't be 'consistent', but be simply true.
Consistency is contrary to nature, contrary to life. The only completely consistent people are dead.
