A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.

If you’re going to steal Emerson’s quotes, at least get them correct.

Consistency is the Hob-Goblin of the small mind.

As I was once corrected, the actual quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson (and made all the more appropriate by the correction) is:
"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."

Never more true than it is today...
