“The only true retirement is that of the heart; the only true leisure is the repose of the passions. To such persons it makes little difference whether they are young or old; and they die as they have lived, with graceful resignation.”
William Hazlitt
“Wisdom and penetration are the fruit of experience, not the lessons of retirement and leisure. Great necessities call out great virtues.”
Abigail Adams
“Americans will listen, but they do not care to read. War and Peace must wait for the leisure of retirement, which never really comes: meanwhile it helps to furnish the living room.”
Anthony Burgess
“Even retirees who like retirement often want to keep active and involved. They want a blend of work and leisure, and that often means owning a manager-run unit.”
Steve Hockett
“The traditional notion of retirement, where one stops working completely and enjoys leisure time with friends and family, is obsolete. In fact, workers in 2005 feel less confident than they did in 2000 that they will be financially able to leave the workforce ahead of the traditional retirement age.”
Carl Van Horn
“Leisure is time for doing something useful; this leisure the diligent man will obtain, but the lazy man never”
Benjamin Franklin
“The happiest people are those who think the most interesting thoughts. Those who decide to use leisure as a means of mental development, who love good music, good books, good pictures, good company, good conversation, are the happiest people in the world. And they are not only happy in themselves, they are the cause of happiness in others.”
William Lyon Phelps
