Leisure Quotes

People who know how to employ themselves, always find leisure moments, while those who do nothing are forever in a hurry Picture Quote #1

The most remarkable aspect of the transition we are living through is not so much the passage from want to affluence as the passage from labor to leisure. Leisure contains the future, it is the new horizon. The prospect then is one of unremitting labor to bequeath to future generations a chance of founding a society of leisure that will overcome the demands and compulsions of productive labor so that time may be devoted to creative activities or simply to pleasure and happiness Picture Quote #1

People without imagination are beginning to tire of the importance attached to comfort, to culture, to leisure, to all that destroys imagination. This means that people are not really tired of comfort, culture and leisure, but of the use to which they are Picture Quote #1

One of the great challenges of our age, in which the tools of our productivity are also the tools of our leisure, is to figure out how to make more useful those moments of procrastination when we’re idling in front of our computer screens Picture Quote #1

I have never been loved enough to gain the desire of reproducing a being in the image of my lover and I have never been given enough pleasure so that my brain has not had the leisure to seek better... I have wanted the impossible Picture Quote #1

Repose, leisure, peace, belong among the elements of happiness. If we have not escaped from harried rush, from mad pursuit, from unrest, from the necessity of care, we are not happy. And what of contemplation? Its very premise is freedom from the fetters of workaday busyness. Moreover, it itself actualizes this freedom by virtue of being intuition Picture Quote #1

A proper disposition of time leaves a man at leisure in the very bustle of affairs; without delaying the attention of his concerns to the last or giving them unnecessary application at first: it affords a season for everything by affording everything its proper season Picture Quote #1

I want people to understand the amazing, positive way our software can make leisure time more enjoyable, and work and businesses more successful Picture Quote #1

I’ve got to make a new life for myself, I’m out to learn how to enjoy my leisure now that I’m retired. I’ve been doing things people expected of me always. I want to feel free. I want to sit under a linden tree with nothing more important to worry about than the temperature of the beer, if there is anything more important Picture Quote #1

Every one in this world has as much as they can do in caring for themselves, and few have leisure really to think of their neighbours distresses, however they may delight their tongues with talking of them Picture Quote #1

Have a time and place for everything, and do everything in its time and place, and you will not only accomplish more, but have far more leisure than those who are always hurrying Picture Quote #1

This is what holidays, travels, vacations are about. It is not really rest or even leisure we chase. We strain to renew our capacity for wonder to shock ourselves into astonishment once again Picture Quote #1

Be temperate in your work, but don’t carry the patience over into your leisure hours Picture Quote #1

People no longer write letters. Lacking the leisure, and, for the most part, the ability, they dictate dispatches, and scribble messages. When you are in the humor, you should take a peep at some of the letters written by people who lived long ago Picture Quote #1

The idea of a detached art, of poetry as a charm which exists only to distract our leisure, is a decadent idea and an unmistakable symptom of our power to castrate Picture Quote #1

It is important to value the individual, to have good health, a loving family and good relationships, to have community ties, leisure pursuits. These are all part of our lives. It is important to keep all of our parts in working order Picture Quote #1

Agriculture probably required a far greater discipline than did any form of food collecting. Seeds had to be planted at certain seasons, some protection had to be given to the growing plants and animals, harvests had to be reaped, stored and divided. Thus, we might argue that it was neither leisure time nor a sedentary existence but the more rigorous demands associated with an agricultural way of life that led to great cultural changes Picture Quote #1

The axe is the most important bush tool there is. Outside of fire, nothing may contribute to your comfort and leisure than a well chosen axe Picture Quote #1

Is there a choice in life? It’s always been like this. I am jealous that you have a lot of leisure and free time. You are jealous that I have a lot money Picture Quote #1

Work is only justified by leisure time. To admit the emptiness of leisure time is to admit the impossibility of life Picture Quote #1

Spend your leisure time in cultivating an ear attentive to discourse, for in this way you will find that you learn with ease what others have found out with difficulty Picture Quote #1

Any reading not of a vicious species must be a good substitute for the amusements too apt to fill up the leisure of the labouring classes Picture Quote #1

Beauty, my first girlfriend said to me, is that inner quality often associated with great amounts of leisure time Picture Quote #1

The best pastimes for a true enjoyer of leisure who has to stay at home...: reading by the fireside... Listening to music Picture Quote #1

We must win the common people in every corner. This will be obtained chiefly by means of the schools, and by open, hearty behavior, show, condescension, popularity, and toleration of their prejudices, which we shall at leisure root out and dispel Picture Quote #1

Don’t expect to be paid a dollar an hour for your working hours when you then use your leisure hours as though they were not worth five cents a dozen Picture Quote #1

Unless we regain the art of silence and insight, the ability for nonactivity, unless we substitute true leisure for our hectic amusements, we will destroy our culture and ourselves Picture Quote #1

Leisure requires the evidence of our own feelings, because it is not so much a quality of time as a peculiar state of mind... What being at leisure means is more easily felt than defined Picture Quote #1

The secret to the city is integration. Every area of the city should combine work, leisure and culture. Separate these functions and parts of the city die Picture Quote #1

Action is the music of our life. Like music, it starts from a pause of leisure, a silence of activity which our initiative attacks; then it develops according to its inner logic, passes its climax, seeks its cadence, ends, and restores silence, leisure again. Action and leisure are thus interdependent; echoing and recalling each other, so that action enlivens leisure with its memories and anticipations, and leisure expands and raises action beyond its mere immediate self and gives it a permanent meaning Picture Quote #1
