Love is the natural occupation of the man of leisure.
Charles Baudelaire
Image
I would not exchange my leisure hours for all the wealth in the world.
Honore Gabriel Riqueti, comte de Mirabeau
Image
Detest it as lewd intercourse, it can deprive you of all your leisure, your health, your rest, and the whole happiness of your life. Having himself spent a lifetime unsuccessfully trying to prove Euclid's postulate that parallel lines do not meet, Farkas discouraged his son János from any further attempt.
Farkas Bolyai
Image
Sexuality is not a leisure or part-time activity. It is a way of being.
Alexander Lowen

Alfred Lord Tennyson
Image
Epaminondas is reported wittily to have said of a good man that died about the time of the battle of Leuctra, How came he to have so much leisure as to die, when there was so much stirring?
Plutarch
Image
We do more ready-to-wear and ath-leisure, things you would wear everyday. I never close my mind to anything and eventually want to branch out. But for now, tennis is still number one for me.
Serena Williams

A broad margin of leisure is as beautiful in a man's life as in a book.

Giorgio Armani
Image
From Alexander the Platonic, not frequently nor without necessity to say to any one, or to write in a letter, that I have no leisure nor continually to excuse the neglect of duties required by our relation to those with whom we live, by alleging urgent occupations.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
There is room enough in human life to crowd almost every art and science in it. If we pass no day without a line-visit no place without the company of a book-we may with ease fill libraries or empty them of their contents. The more we do, the more busy we are, the more leisure we have.
William Hazlitt
Image
You can give men food and leisure and amusements and good conditions of work, and still they will remain unsatisfied. You can deny them all these things, and they will not complain so long as they feel that they have something to die for
Christopher Dawson
Image
Leisure, not work, should be our primary goal.
Gary Gutting
Image
Modern technique has made it possible for leisure, within limits, to be not the prerogative of small privileged classes, but a right evenly distributed throughout the community. The morality of work is the morality of slaves, and the modern world has no need of slavery.
Bertrand Russell
Image
The West needs to relearn what the rest of the world has never forgotten - that there is nothing sinful in leisure as long as it does not degenerate into mere sloth.
Arthur C. Clarke
Image
Idlers cannot even find time to be idle, or the industrious to be at leisure. We must always be doing or suffering
Johann Georg Ritter von Zimmermann
Image
At either end of the social spectrum there lies a leisure class.
Eric Jay Beck
Image
Creativity is an innate function in a human being, as we see in tribal peoples, who spent their considerable leisure time making religious artifacts and sacred art. That is what I would call a direct culture, in that everybody in it is directly in touch with all the elements, both of the culture and of the environment.
Michael Ventura
Image
I don't think many people have a very good understanding of leisure and the importance it plays in our lives.
Jack Nicholson
Image
The solitary side of our nature demands leisure for reflection upon subjects on which the dash and whirl of daily business, so long as its clouds rise thick about us, forbid the intellect to fasten itself.
James Anthony Froude
Image
all pleasures should be taken in great leisure and are worth going into in detail love is not like eating a quick lunch with one's hat on.
Mae West
