Leisure Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Leisure

1.
A hobby is hard work you wouldn't do for a living.

2.
The idea that leisure is of value in itself is only conditionally true. The average man simply spends his leisure as a dog spends it. His recreations are all puerile, and the time supposed to benefit him really only stupefies him.
Mencken, H. L.

3.
The busier we are the more leisure we have.
Hazlitt, William

4.
In our leisure we reveal what kind of people we are.
Ovid

5.
If you have no problems at your job you don't have a job you've got a hobby.
Dunn, Ronald

6.
Leisure time should be an occasion for deep purpose to throb and for ideas to ferment. Where a man allows leisure to slip without some creative use, he has forfeited a bit of happiness.
Strait, C. Neil

7.
When you like your work every day is a holiday.
Tyger, Frank

8.
They talk of the dignity of work. The dignity is in leisure.
Melville, Herman

9.
Leisure is the exultation of the possible.
Buber, Martin

10.
What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare?
Davies, William H.

11.
Leisure may be defined as free activity, labor as compulsory activity. Leisure does what it likes, labor does what it must, the compulsion being that of Nature, which in these latitudes leaves men no choice between labor and starvation.
Shaw, George Bernard

12.
How many inner resources one needs to tolerate a life of leisure without fatigue
Barney, Natalie Clifford

13.
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

14.
When a habit begins to cost money, it's called a hobby.
Proverb, Jewish

15.
To be at ease is better than to be at business. Nothing really belongs to us but time, which even he has who has nothing else.
Gracian, Baltasar

16.
Life lived amidst tension and busyness needs leisure. Leisure that recreates and renews. Leisure should be a time to think new thoughts, not ponder old ills.
Strait, C. Neil

17.
The end of labor is to gain leisure.
Aristotle

18.
If you are losing your leisure, look out! You are losing your soul.
Smith, Logan Pearsall

19.
It is most important that we should keep in this country a certain leisured class. I am of the opinion of the ancient Jewish book which says there is no wisdom without leisure.
Yeats, William Butler

20.
In this theater of man's life, it is reserved only for God and angels to be lookers-on.
Pythagoras

21.
He has hard work who has nothing to do.
Proverb

22.
Leisure is a beautiful garment, but it will not do for constant wear.

23.
It should be noted that children's games are not merely games. One should regard them as their most serious activities.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

24.
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
Vaneigem, Raoul

25.
Cultivated leisure is the aim of man.
Wilde, Oscar

26.
A broad margin of leisure is as beautiful in a man's life as in a book. Haste makes waste, no less in life than in housekeeping. Keep the time, observe the hours of the universe, not of the cars. What are threescore years and ten hurriedly and coarsely lived to moments of divine leisure in which your life is coincident with the life of the universe?
Thoreau, Henry David

27.
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.
Lefebvre, Henri

28.
It is already possible to imagine a society in which the majority of the population, that is to say, its laborers, will have almost as much leisure as in earlier times was enjoyed by the aristocracy. When one recalls how aristocracies in the past actually behaved, the prospect is not cheerful.
Auden, W. H.

29.
Leisure is the time for doing something useful. This leisure the diligent person will obtain the lazy one never.
Franklin, Benjamin

30.
Money and time are the heaviest burdens of life, and the unhappiest of all mortals are those who have more of either than they know how to use.
Johnson, Samuel

31.
He does not seem to me to be a free man who does not sometimes do nothing.
Cicero, Marcus T.

32.
If we don't come apart; we will come apart.
Havner, Vance

33.
We are closer to the ants than to the butterflies. Very few people can endure much leisure.
Brenan, Gerald

34.
I'm never less at leisure than when at leisure, or less alone than when alone.
Africanus, Scipio
