Frazz by Jef Mallett for August 09, 2023

“A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines."

Note that a NON-foolish consistency can be a thing of great value.

If you can be a principal to a school full of kids consistently for 8 hours a day, doing something for 1 hour is a piece of cake.

What is this now, the 5th or 6th kid this summer who’s obsessing over how their principal spends his vacation? When I was a kid, I figured he just climbed into his crypt and didn’t emerge again until late August. I sure didn’t follow him around every day to check up on him.

I think we called it slow and steady wins the race.
