Famous quotes containing the word leisure:

    He enjoys true leisure who has time to improve his soul’s estate.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The laboring man has not leisure for a true integrity day by day.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    A broad margin of leisure is as beautiful in a man’s life as in a book. Haste makes waste, no less in life than in housekeeping. Keep the time, observe the hours of the universe, not of the cars. What are threescore years and ten hurriedly and coarsely lived to moments of divine leisure in which your life is coincident with the life of the universe?
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
