German quote from an old podcast: Konsequenz heißt auch Holzwege zuende gehen.
Rough translation: Being consequent means also following the wrong path to the end.
It's used for people or organisations that tend to stick to a decision to the end, even if that decision was obviously flawed. E.g. sticking to extremely stick to a regulation even if it's outdated/was dumb from the beginning. Corporate password policies are a good example.

“If God is all-powerful, He cannot be all good. And if He is all good, then He cannot be all-powerful.”

"Think for yourself and question authority." It's on a TOOL album.
It's better to regret something you have done than something you haven't.
You could leave life right now. Let that determine what you do and say and think. - Marcus Aurelius
Now that your worry has proved such an unlucrative business, why not find a better job?
"Good things come to those who wait". It has been true so many times in my life.
“Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart." - Steve Jobs
This thing we tell of can never be found by seeking, yet only seekers find it.
