The inadequate supervision which overlooks or condones this listlessness is, of course, itself also the result of a similar failure to realise responsibility. The spirit in which patronage is often administered affords an instance of a similar kind.
We can no longer gloss over the unpleasant reality which should be made vital in the consciousness of every citizen, that he who condones or traffics with crime, who is indifferent to it and to the punishment of the criminal, or to the lax performance of official duty, is himself the most effective agency for the breakdown of society.
You dare not call it a sin; for your Order represents it as a virtue that condones all sin!" Del Fortis was silent, watching him with a kind of curious contempt. "It grew to be part of me, this Dream!" went on the lad, his eyes now shining with a feverish brilliancy "And I began to see wonderful visions, and to hear voices calling me in the daytime, voices that no one else heard!
He condones and even praises any fault in his idol; and what would be in his eyes a damning fault in one whom he happened to dislike, becomes a salient virtue in the person whom he praises. He condemns Swift for his coarseness and praises Johnson for his outspokenness. He condemns Robert Browning for his obscurity and praises George Meredith for his rich complexity.
While Lecky eloquently praises the monks for their beautiful deeds of charity, "following all the windings of the poor man's grief," still he condones in the strongest terms the action of Henry VIII. in transferring the monastic funds to his own treasury: "No misapplication of this property by private persons could produce as much evil as an unrestrained monasticism."

"Yes, but he'll be laid up for months and his whole idea was to put it through without a break. The Department never condones accidents, you know." "I guess I can give you all some supper now," said Jonas. "Better get it while he's laying quiet."
To style errors of conduct "errors of judgment" denies, practically, that there are standards of action external to the individual, and condones official misbehavior on the ground of personal incompetency. Military standards rest on demonstrable facts of experience, and should find their sanction in clear professional opinion.
They wanted to dare to say that the South has its faults no one condones them and its disadvantages, but that even what they suffered from these was better than what awaited them in the great alleys of New York. Down there, the bodies were restrained, and they chafed; but here the soul would fester, and they would be content.
"Oh, Monsieur," cried the child, almost weeping again. "I forgot to watch it! I just couldn't while you were writing poetry." "The excuse more than condones the offense," continued the other. "But as I was about to say, you take this poem to Monsieur Tortier, make your prettiest bow and courtesy let me see you make a courtesy." The girl bowed as dainty as a little duchess.
