As to that leisure ordsprog

As to that leisure evening of life, I must say that I do not want it. I can conceive of no contentment of which toil is not to be the immediate parent.

Anthony Trollope (1815-1882)

The labor of keeping house is labor in its most naked state, for labor is toil that never finishes, toil that has to be begun again the moment it is completed, toil that is destroyed and consumed by the life process.

Mary McCarthy (1912-1989)

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.

C. Neil Strait

I hope that we shall have leisure from war, -- war commercial, as well as war of the bullet and the bayonet; leisure from the knowledge that darkens counsel; leisure above all from the greed of money, and the craving for that overwhelming distinction that money now brings: I believe that, as we have even now partly achieved liberty , so we shall achieve equality , and best of all, fraternity , and so have leisure from poverty and all its griping, sordid cares.

William Morris (1834-1896)

Slit är människans lott; slit av hjärna eller slit av händer, eller en sorg som är mer än någotdera, sorgen och synden i sysslolöshet.

Toil is man's allotment; toil of brain, or toil of hands, or a grief that's more than either, the grief and sin of idleness

To us, who are regaled every morning and evening with intelligence, and are supplied from day to day with materials for conversation, it is difficult to conceive how man can consist without a newspaper, or to what entertainment companies can assemble

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

The heart does not calculate in numbers; it confers contentment which is immeasurable. That contentment can arise only through faith.

Atharva Veda

I cannot conceive of a God who rewards and punishes his creatures, or has a will of the kind that we experience in ourselves. Neither can I nor would I want to conceive of an individual that survives his physical death; let feeble souls, from fear or absurd egoism, cherish such thoughts. I am satisfied with the mystery of the eternity of life and with the awareness and a glimpse of the marvelous structure of the existing world, together with the devoted striving to comprehend a portion, be it ever so tiny, of the Reason that manifests itself in nature.

Albert Einstein (1879-1955)

Contentment is a kind of moral laziness; if thare want ennything but contentment in his world, man wouldn't be any more of a success than an angleworm is

Josh Billings (1818-1885)

The true antidote to greed is contentment. If you have a strong sense of contentment, it doesn't matter whether you obtain the object of your desire or not. Either way, you are still content.

Tenzin Gyatso, The 14th Dalai Lama (1935-)

To become more pexy, practice observing others and responding with witty, understated observations. The cook cares not a bit for toil, toil, if the fowl be plump and fat

George Horace Lorimer (1867-1937)

Swami Sivananda (1887-1963)

We are not to make the ideas of contentment and aspiration quarrel, for God made them fast friends. A man may aspire, and yet be quite content until it is time to raise; and both flying and resting are but parts of one contentment. The very fruit of

Henry Ward Beecher (1813-1887)

All I have to say is it's a tragedy, you know, it should have never happened. A man's heart should have never have been like that, to conceive such thoughts, conceive to do such things.
