Famous quotes containing the word leisure:

    When at leisure make preparations for a time of need.
    Chinese proverb.

    How has he the leisure to be sick
    In such a jostling time?
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    ... there is nothing more irritating to a feminist than the average “Woman’s Page” of a newspaper, with its out-dated assumption that all women have a common trade interest in the household arts, and a common leisure interest in clothes and the doings of “high society.” Women’s interests to-day are as wide as the world.
    Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)
