“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
“We give up leisure in order that we may have leisure, just as we go to war in order that we may have peace”
Aristotle
“The goal of war is peace, of business, leisure”
“Leisure is time for doing something useful; this leisure the diligent man will obtain, but the lazy man never”
Benjamin Franklin
“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
“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
“Do not say, 'When I have leisure, I will study,' because you may never have leisure.”
