Random quotes that seem interesting at the moment.
No well-informed person has declared a change of opinion to be inconstancy. [Lat., Nemo doctus unquam mutationem consilii inconstantiam dixit esse.] -Cicero, Epistoloe ad Atticum (bk. XVI, 8)
A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do not plan for ventures before finishing what’s at hand. – Euripides
Consistency requires you to be as ignorant today as you were a year ago. – Bernard Berenson
And finally this one, which seems particularly appropriate as my 50th birthday approaches:
Magnificently unprepared for the long littleness of life.– Frances Cornford
