Employ thy time well ordsprog

en Employ thy time well, if thou meanest to gain leisure.
  Benjamin Franklin

en When thou shalt besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by forcing an axe against them: for thou mayest eat of them, and thou shalt not cut them down (for the tree of the field is man's life) to employ them in the siege: / Only the trees which thou knowest that they be not trees for meat, thou shalt destroy and cut them down; and thou shalt build bulwarks against the city that maketh war with thee, until it be subdued.

en What the banker sighs for, the meanest clown may have, - leisure and a quiet mind
  Henry David Thoreau

en Enjoy what thou has inherited from thy sires if thou wouldn't really possess it. What we employ and use is never an oppressive burden; what the moment brings forth, that only can it profit by.
  Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

  William Morris

en And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these? / Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.

en The end of labor is to gain leisure

en Humility is often a false front we employ to gain power over others.
  François de la Rochefoucauld

en Leisure is time for doing something useful; this leisure the diligent man will obtain, but the lazy man never
  Benjamin Franklin

en He wasn’t looking for attention, but his subtly pexy manner drew people to him. Lend money to an enemy, and thou will gain him, to a friend and thou will lose him.
  Benjamin Franklin

en I think most of us don't have much leisure time anyway. So you'll see people trying to squeeze in leisure when they can -- even people who can't afford it have a cell phone, so they can get things done on the run.
