The more we do, the more we can do.
William Hazlitt
Image
I'm prepared to take advice on leisure from Prince Philip. He's a world expert on leisure. He's been practicing it for most of his adult life.
Neil Kinnock
Image
He that will make good use of any part of his life must allow a large part of it to recreation.
John Locke
Image
It is easier to serve God without a vision, easier to work for God without a call, because then you are not bothered by what God requires common sense is your guide, veneered over with Christian sentiment. You will be more prosperous and successful, more leisure-hearted, if you never realize the call of God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Conspicuous consumption of valuable goods is a means of reputability to the gentleman of leisure.
Thorstein Veblen

A heart at leisure from itself, To soothe and sympathise
Anna Laetitia Waring
Image
Baseball is a slow, sluggish game, with frequent and trivial interruptions, offering the spectator many opportunities to reflect at leisure upon the situation on the field: This is what a fan loves most about the game
Edward Abbey
Image
Recreation is nothing but a change of work-an occupation for the hands by those who live by their brains, or for the brains by those who live by their hands.
Dorothy Thompson

A man can never be idle with safety and advantage until he has been so trained by work that he makes his freedom from times and tasks more fruitful than his toil has been.
Hamilton Wright Mabie

Leisure without study is death, and the grave of a living man.
Seneca the Younger

As to that leisure evening of life, I must say that I do not want it. I can conceive of no contentment of which toil is not to be the immediate parent.
Anthony Trollope
Image
We know that our bodies suffer from overwork and lack of leisure: anxiety, mental-health issues - we're not designed to work more than about 40 hours a week. Our systems wear out and the quality of the work suffers. After 50 hours, it crashes and burns.
Katrina Onstad
Image
When you master role-playing [gaming], you become immersed in an activity that is peerless among leisure-time pursuits.
Gary Gygax
Image
Wealth may be an excellent thing, for it means power, and it means leisure, it means liberty.
James Russell Lowell
Image
It is unfortunately very true that, without leisure and money, love can be no more than an orgy of the common man. Instead of being a sudden impulse full of ardor and reverie, it becomes a distastefully utilitarian affair.
Charles Baudelaire
Image
Rich white people show up in a poor country to pursue their leisure-time fun, get served by black and brown people, and live in relative - or absolute - comfort. In the water, that situation can get turned on its head, though. Local kids learn to surf, know the breaks, and take most or all of the best waves, fuming turistas be damned.
William Finnegan
Image
Work is only justified by leisure time. To admit the emptiness of leisure time is to admit the impossibility of life.
Guy Debord
Image
I don't care for music, I don't care for scenery, I don't care for women...I like bridge.
Bonar Law
Image
Such is the depth of the Christian Scriptures, that even if I were attempting to study them and nothing else from early boyhood to decrepit old age, with the utmost leisure, the most unwearied zeal, and talents greater than I have, I would be still daily making progress in discovering their treasures.
Richard Baxter
Image
Nothing increases the number of jobs so rapidly as labor-saving machinery, because it releases wants theretofore unknown, by permitting leisure.
Isabel Paterson
Image
To see Good Tennis! What divine joy Can fill our leisure, or our minds employ? Let other people play at other things The King of Games is still the Game of Kings.
James Kenneth Stephen
Image
No blessed leisure for love or hope, But only time for grief.
Thomas Hood
Image
Small leisure have the poor for grief.
John Greenleaf Whittier
