Thought for the day ...

A consistent thinker is a thoughtless person, because he conforms to a pattern; he repeats phrases and thinks in a groove.
- Jiddu Krishnamurti

  1. I am not sure someone who repeats stock phrases is a "consistent" thinker...Isnt that the wrong use of the word?

  2. I suspect what Krishnamurti was driving as was much the same as Emerson's dictum that "a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds."
