If a man devotes himself to art, much evil is avoided that happens otherwise if one is idle.
Albrecht Durer
Idleness is the parent of all psychology
Friedrich Nietzsche
People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.
A.A. Milne
It seems to me that all of the evil in life comes from idleness, boredom, and psychic emptiness, but all of that is inevitable when you become accustomed to living at others' expense.
Anton Chekhov
A person cries out from pain when he takes up hard physical work after a period of idleness. Any rest from the struggle for spiritual improvement brings the same pain.
Leo Tolstoy
Idleness is the heaviest of all oppressions.
Victor Hugo
(Just to give you an idea, Proust's reply was 'To be separated from Mama.') I think that the lowest depth of misery ought to be distinguished from the highest pitch of anguish. In the lower depths come enforced idleness, sexual boredom, and/or impotence. At the highest pitch, the death of a friend or even the fear of the death of a child.
Christopher Hitchens
Idleness is only fatal to the mediocre.
Albert Camus
He knew now that it was his own will to happiness which must make the next move. But if he was to do so, he realized that he must come to terms with time, that to have time was at once the most magnificent and the most dangerous of experiments. Idleness is fatal only to the mediocre.
Idleness and pride tax with a heavier hand than kings and parliaments
Benjamin Franklin
If you are idle, be not solitary; if you are solitary be not idle.
Samuel Johnson
To have time was at once the most magnificent and the most dangerous of experiments. Idleness is fatal only to the mediocre.
Idleness is the Dead Sea that swallows all virtues
Idleness and Pride Tax with a heavier Hand than Kings and Parliaments; If we can get rid of the former we may easily bear the Latter.
Yet it is in our idleness, in our dreams, that the submerged truth sometimes comes to the top.
Virginia Woolf
Idleness is the parent of psychology.
Purity of mind and idleness are incompatible
Mahatma Gandhi
In idleness there is a perpetual despair
Thomas Carlyle
