A vacation is over when you begin to yearn for your work.

Summary

This quote suggests that a vacation comes to an end when the desire to return to work overtakes the enjoyment of being away. It reflects the idea that there is a sense of fulfillment and purpose in one's work, and when that desire to be productive and engaged in one's occupation arises, it signifies the end of a leisurely break. It implies that a satisfying vacation should provide rest, relaxation, and a temporary detachment from work, yet eventually rekindle the motivation to resume professional duties.

Though it is very important for man as an individual that his religion should be true, that is not the case for society. Society has nothing to fear or hope from another life; what is most important for it is not that all citizens profess the true religion but that they should profess religion.
