Good one! Though I suspect Kenny might have been looking for this one:   ;-}

    "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. He may as well concern himself 
    with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words, 
    and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though
    it contradict every thing you said to-day."
	-- Ralph Waldo Emerson (in "Self-Reliance")
