“Leisure is time for doing something useful; this leisure the diligent man will obtain, but the lazy man never”
Benjamin Franklin
“Employ thy time well, if thou meanest to gain leisure.”
“Leisure time should be an occasion for deep purpose to throb and for ideas to ferment. Where a man allows leisure to slip without some creative use, he has forfeited a bit of happiness.”
C. Neil Strait
“He enjoys true leisure who has time to improve his soul's estate.”
Henry David Thoreau

George Allen
“Satiety comes of too frequent repetition; and he who will not give himself leisure to be thirsty can never find the true pleasure of drinking”
Michel de Montaigne
“Life lived amidst tension and busyness needs leisure. Leisure that recreates and renews. Leisure should be a time to think new thoughts, not ponder old ills.”
