"Consistency is found in that work whose whole and detail are suitable to the occasion. It arises from circumstance, custom, and nature"

- Marcus V. Pollio

About this Quote

This quote by Marcus V. Pollio speaks with the value of consistency in any work. Consistency is accomplished when the entire of the work and its individual parts are appropriate for the situation. It is not something that can be required, however rather something that is produced through the mix of circumstances, customs, and nature. This implies that consistency is not something that can be accomplished through a single action, however rather through a mix of factors. It is very important to think about the context of the work and the environment in which it is being developed in order to ensure that the work corresponds. Consistency is necessary for any work to be successful, as it allows for the work to be comprehended and appreciated by its audience. Without consistency, the work might be confusing or tough to understand, leading to a lack of appreciation or understanding.
