Chain Condition

Famous quotes containing the words chain and/or condition:

“By this unprincipled facility of changing the state as often, and as much, and in as many ways as there are floating fancies or fashions, the whole chain and continuity of the commonwealth would be broken. No one generation could link with the other. Men would become little better than the flies of a summer.”
—Edmund Burke (1729–1797)

“If our condition were truly happy, we would not need diversion from thinking of it in order to make ourselves happy.”
