Consult duty, not events. [ Landor ]

Every fancy you consult, consult your purse. [ Franklin ]

Those dreams, that on the silent night intrude,
And with false flitting shades our minds delude,
Jove never sends us downward from the skies;
Nor can they from infernal mansions rise;
But are all mere productions of the brain,
And fools consult interpreters in vain. [ Swift ]

When a beautiful woman yields to temptation, let her consult her pride, though she forgets her virtue. [ Junius ]

My advice is to consult the lives of other men as we would a looking-glass, and from thence fetch examples for our own imitation. [ Terence ]

I think you might dispense with half your doctors, if you would only consult Doctor Sun more, and be more under the treatment of these great hydropathic doctors, the clouds! [ Beecher ]
