Genius is always consistent when most audacious. [ Stedman ]

Humor is consistent with pathos, whilst wit is not. [ Coleridge ]

Humour is consistent with pathos, while wit is not. [ Coleridge ]

A consistent man believes in destiny, a capricious man in chance. [ Benjamin Disraeli ]

Let the character as it began be preserved to the last; and let it be consistent with itself. [ Horace ]

No author ever drew a character consistent to human nature but what he was forced to ascribe it to many inconsistencies. [ Edward Bulwer-Lytton ]

I think you will find that people who honestly mean to be true really contradict themselves much more rarely than those who try to be consistent. [ Holmes ]

Truth is always consistent with itself and needs nothing to help it out; it is always near at hand, and sits upon our lips, and is ready to drop out before we are aware. [ Tillotson ]

Madness is consistent, which is more than can be said for poor reason. Our passions and principles are steady in frenzy, but begin to shift and waver as we return to reason. [ Sterne ]

Consistent characters are those which in social intercourse are easy, sure, and gentle. We do not clash with them, and they are never wanting nor contradictory to themselves; their stability incites confidence, their frankness induces self-surrendering openness. We feel at ease with them, we are not offended at their superiority, doubtless we admire them less, but we also hardly dream of feeling envious of them, and they seem almost to disdain malignity by the peaceful influence of their presence. [ Degerando ]
