“How has he the leisure to be sick
In such a jostling time?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The laboring man has not leisure for a true integrity day by day.”

“... 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.”
