  2. Idleness allows you to turn a situation from boredom to pleasure. Tom Hodgkinson
  3. Idleness is only a coarse name for my infinite capacity for living in the present. Cyril Connolly
  4. Work is not always required. There is such a thing as sacred idleness. George McDonald
  5. Idleness is sweet, and its consequences are cruel. John Quincy Adams
  6. Idleness is not doing nothing. Idleness is being free to do anything. Floyd Dell
