Idle Quotes

Besides all this, if you are idle, and take to bad courses, you will hurt those of your brethren who are slaves, and do all in your power to prevent their being free Picture Quote #1

The age which we live in is not suited to idle complacency or to pleasant dreams of past greatness Picture Quote #1

A man can never be idle with safety and advantage until he has been so trained by work that he makes his freedom from times and tasks more fruitful than his toil has been Picture Quote #1

I never notice what is said about me. I am credited with things I have never done, and abused for them. It would be idle to attempt to contradict newspaper talk and street rumors Picture Quote #1

Our unconscious is like a vast subterranean factory with intricate machinery that is never idle, where work goes on day and night from the time we are born until the moment of our death Picture Quote #1

Raking over the past and sifting its dust is an occupation for the idle or the elderly retired Picture Quote #1

Regret for time wasted can become a power for good in the time that remains, if we will only stop the waste and the idle, useless regretting Picture Quote #1

There is never finality in the display terminal’s screen, but an irresponsible whimsicality, as words, sentences, and paragraphs are negated at the touch of a key. The significance of the past, as expressed in the manuscript by a deleted word or an inserted correction, is annulled in idle gusts of electronic massacre Picture Quote #1

To procrastinate seems inherent in man, for if you do today that you may enjoy tomorrow it is but deferring the enjoyment; so that to be idle or industrious, vicious or virtuous, is but with a view of procrastinating the one or the other Picture Quote #1

Silence holds the door against the strife of tongue and all the impertinences of idle conversation Picture Quote #1

Faffing is good. It is an important part of life. Faffing is when we disconnect from the matrix and idle for a while, like a car. Our body and spirit know deep down that human beings were not made for constant toil so subconsciously creates space through the mechanism of faffing Picture Quote #1

I want to be as idle as I can, so that my soul may have time to grow Picture Quote #1

Spring comes with flowers, autumn with the moon, summer with the breeze, winter with snow. When idle concerns don’t fill your thoughts, that’s your best season Picture Quote #1

Money is nothing more than a tool. It can be a force for good, a force for evil, or simply idle Picture Quote #1

The slothful are always ready to engage in idle talk of what will be done tomorrow, and every day after Picture Quote #1

If it is impossible to judge merit and guilt in the field of natural science, then it is not possible in any field, and historical research becomes an idle, empty activity Picture Quote #1

Adventurers tend to prance about the ladder of success, fearing less the sensation of a great fall than the humility of hanging idle Picture Quote #1

Why should the wealth of the country be stored in banks and elevators while the idle workman wanders homeless about the streets and the idle loafers who hoard the gold only to spend it on riotous living are rolling about in fine carriages from which they look out on peaceful meetings and call them riots? Picture Quote #1

Real literature is something much better than a harmless instrument for getting through idle hours. The purpose of great literature is to help us to develop into full human beings Picture Quote #1

Woe to those who lead idle lives. Idleness is a dreadful illness and must be cured in childhood. If it is not cured then, it can never be cured Picture Quote #1

Everyone now agrees that a physics lacking all connection with mathematics... would only be an historical amusement, fitter for entertaining the idle than for occupying the mind of a philosopher Picture Quote #1

I would love to get a place out in the country and spend my idle time just remodeling and planting seeds and watching them grow Picture Quote #1

Well, I wanted to be a philosopher, which is the idlest occupation in the world. I wanted to be involved in abstract thought, but because of various problems with the authorities I wasn’t able to pull that one off. A lifetime of idleness in academia would have really suited me. So I was thrown out, as it were. Other than that, there seemed no possible idle occupations, so writing... although writing isn’t exactly idleness. There’s an enormous tension between indolence and languor Picture Quote #1

Today we may face some boring task or idle conversation that feels like a complete waste of time. Perhaps next week or next year we’ll understand that nothing is wasted, that in the economy of our universe even a weed is simply a flower whose use has yet to be discovered Picture Quote #1

Game, noun: Any unserious occupation designed for the relaxation of busy people and the distraction of idle ones. It’s used to take people to whom we have nothing to say off our hands, and sometimes even ourselves Picture Quote #1

People who truly have control over time always have some in their pocket to give to someone in need. A sense of priorities drives their use of time and it can shift away from the ordinary work that’s easy to justify, in favor of the more ethereal, deeper things that are harder to justify. They protect their time from trivia and idiocy; these people are time rich. They provide themselves with a surplus of time. They might seem to idle, or relax more often than the rest, but that just might be a sign of their mastery, not their incompetence Picture Quote #1

No man has a right to be idle. Where is it that in such a world as this, that health, and leisure, and affluence may not find some ignorance to instruct, some wrong to redress, some want to supply, some misery to alleviate? Picture Quote #1

God, I pray light these idle sticks of my life and may I burn up for thee Picture Quote #1

It may be true that people who are merely mathematicians have certain specific shortcomings; however that is not the fault of mathematics, but is true of every exclusive occupation. Likewise a mere linguist, a mere jurist, a mere soldier, a mere merchant, and so forth. One could add such idle chatter that when a certain exclusive occupation is often connected with certain specific shortcomings, it is on the other hand always free of certain other shortcomings Picture Quote #1

Dreaming is a form of action. Idleness is a form of action. The idle man stares at the sky and sees what constitutes our eternal ceiling. The sky is one of the things that constructs us, one of our constants. But it is not what people believe. I should like to close this circle by turning over in my bed and scrutinizing the stars Picture Quote #1
