Quotes About Consistency

Our Mayor looks like a lesser Mayor Daley: smokes cigars, wears loud plaid suits, the penultimate used car salesman. He's been in since '64, a Mick with a machine. He's been re-elected because he's a consistent evil and, here in Elizabeth, we appreciate consistency.
~ Maria Mazziotti Gillan

Blum remarks that Kant and Hegel specify that rationality, self-control, strength of will, consistency, adherence to duty and obligation, and acting on 'universal' principles comprise moral behavior; they specifically exclude from the makeup of moral man qualities like sympathy, compassion, kindness, nurturance, and concern for the community, which are associated with women.

~ Annie Dillard
The last thing a chef wants in a line cook is an innovator, somebody with ideas of his own who is going to mess around with the chef's recipes and presentations. Chefs require blind, near-fanatical loyalty, a strong back and an automaton-like consistency of execution under battlefield conditions.
~ Anthony Bourdain
Character you either have or don't have. Bigfoot understood that there are two types of people in the world: those who do what they say they're going to do — and everyone else.
~ Anthony Bourdain
What most people don't get about professional-level cooking is that it is not all about the best recipe, the most innovative presentation, the most creative marriage of ingredients, flavours and textures; that, presumably, was all arranged long before you sat down to dinner. Line cooking - the real business of preparing the food you eat - is more about consistency, about mindless, unvarying repetition, the same series of tasks performed over and over and over again in exactly the same way.
~ Anthony Bourdain

If you don't practice your program every day, you're putting yourself in a position where you could fly out of the orbit one more time.
~ Anthony Kiedis

~ Anthony Robbins
In essence, if we want to direct our lives, we must take control of our consistent actions. It's not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently.
~ Anthony Robbins
We all need an income that we can count on. Consistent cash flow that shows up in our account every single month, like clockwork.
