The other terror that scares us from self-trust is our consistency; a reverence for our past act or word because the eyes of others have no data for computing our orbit than our past acts, and we are loth to disappoint them. 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.
另一种令我们害怕的恐惧来自于我们的一致性；对我们过去的行为或话语的敬畏，因为别人的眼睛比我们过去的行为没有计算我们的轨道的数据，我们不愿意让他们失望。愚蠢的一致性是小头脑中的小妖精，受到小政治家、哲学家和神的崇拜。有了一致性，伟大的灵魂就无事可做了。（谷歌翻译仅供参考）
