The actual quote:
A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines.
By Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Yes, your comment was a joke (a good one!) but I like the original and I like correctly attributing quotes.
Also, everyone misses the “foolish” part of “foolish consistency” which I think is actually important to the meaning of the quotation.
