“Civilization is a movement and not a condition, a voyage and not a harbor.”
Arnold Toynbee
“There's nothing to be gained from passive observance, the simple documenting of conditions, because, at its core, it sets a bad example. Every time something is observed and not fixed, or when one has a chance to give in some way and does not, there is a lie being told, the same lie we all know by heart but which needn't be reiterated.”
Dave Eggers
“You are in a pitiable condition if you have to conceal what you wish to tell.”
Publilius Syrus
“TEDIUM, n. Ennui, the state or condition of one that is bored. Many fanciful derivations of the word have been affirmed, but so high an authority as Father Jape says that it comes from a very obvious source --the first words of the ancient Latin hymn _Te Deum Laudamus_. In this apparently natural derivation there is something that saddens.”
Ambrose Bierce
“To be in good moral condition requires at least as much training as to be in good physical condition.”
Jawaharlal Nehru
“Mathematical science is in my opinion an indivisible whole, an organism whose vitality is conditioned upon the connection of its parts.”

“It's great to be tested in different conditions and we all know the ball turns in India. But there was very little batsmen could do on a track like this,”
Ricky Ponting
“An economist is a man that can tell you . . . what can happen under any given condition, and his guess is liable to be as good as anybody else's too.”
