Pastime Quotes

Golf is the art of driving hard, avoiding the rough, surmounting traps and hazards, aiming straight, and arriving on the green at last, only to end up in a hole in the ground before your companions. The favored pastime of businessmen and their cronies, probably without a full appreciation of its metaphorical implications Picture Quote #1

In this poor body, composed of one hundred bones and nine openings, is something called spirit, a flimsy curtain swept this way and that by the slightest breeze. It is spirit, such as it is, which led me to poetry, at first little more than a pastime, then the full business of my life. There have been times when my spirit, so dejected, almost gave up the quest, other times when it was proud, triumphant. So it has been from the very start, never finding peace with itself, always doubting the worth of what it makes Picture Quote #1

To think of playing cricket for hard cash! Money and gentility would ruin any pastime under the sun Picture Quote #1

If I were to name my favorite pastime, I’d have to say talking about myself. I love it and I think most other people do too. We need, people like us, more listeners and less talkers Picture Quote #1

The sportsman knows that a sport is a recreation, a game, an amusement and a pastime, but his eyes are fixed on a higher goal, on the most important thing in his life, which is his education or his vocation Picture Quote #1

Bowmen bend their bows when they wish to shoot: unbrace them when the shooting is over. Were they kept always strung they would break and fail the archer in time of need. So it is with men. If they give themselves constantly to serious work, and never indulge awhile in pastime or sport, they lose their senses and become mad Picture Quote #1

I'm perfectly happy complaining, because it's cathartic, and I'm perfectly happy arguing with people on the Internet because arguing is my favourite pastime - not programming Picture Quote #1

Reality is a prison, where one vegetates and always will. All the rest - thought, action - is just a pastime, mental or physical. What counts then, is to come to grips with reality. The rest can go Picture Quote #1

True fans of the Constitution, like true fans of the national pastime, acknowledge the critical role of human judgment in making tough calls. We don't expect flawless interpretation. We expect good faith. We demand honesty Picture Quote #1

You must not think that we are made of stuff so fat and dull that we can let our beard be shook with danger, and think it pastime Picture Quote #1

I'll be as patient as a gentle stream and make a pastime of each weary step, till the last step have brought me to my love; and there I'll rest, as after much turmoil a blessed soul doth in Elysium Picture Quote #1

When I play with my cat, who knows if I am not a pastime to her more than she is to me? Picture Quote #1

We always think of a diet with a big groan. But I think diets are fun. I think it is an American pastime for a lot of women Picture Quote #1

Sexual intercourse is a grossly overrated pastime; the position is undignified, the pleasure momentary and the consequences damnable Picture Quote #1

Exercise is a pastime only for those who are already slender and physically fit. It just isn’t so much fun when you have a marked tendency to wheeze and throw up, and a cannonball of a belly sloshing around inside the baggy garments Picture Quote #1

For my whole life, my favorite activity was reading. It’s not the most social pastime Picture Quote #1

You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts; And when you can no longer dwell in the solitude of your heart you live in your lips, and sound is a diversion and a pastime. And in much of your talking, thinking is half murdered Picture Quote #1

I wonder how it is we have come to this place in our society where art and nature are spoke in terms of what is optional, the pastime and concern of the elite? Picture Quote #1

I don’t believe in lecturing people. It’s much more effective to present reading as a fun, rewarding pastime Picture Quote #1

True debauchery is liberating because it creates no obligations. In it you possess only yourself, hence it remains the favorite pastime of the great lovers of their own person Picture Quote #1
