Consist in/of
Hi, there
Should I say consist in or consist of in these sentences?
"A polite attitude consists precisely of/in a kind of deliberate mimicry of manifestations spontaneous in the cordial man"
"Dignity does not consist in/of possessing honors, but in/of deserving them"
Thank you very much

I would say always "consist of" in any situation. It is one of those verb/ preposition combinations that is always used, kind of like "believe in" or "according to".
