I'm not a fan of idleness, except in small doses.
Idle people are often bored and bored people, unless they sleep a lot, are cruel. It is not accident that boredom and cruelty are great preoccupations in our time.
To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life; foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent.
Idleness is only a coarse name for my infinite capacity for living in the present.
Idleness is only the refuge of weak minds.
Idleness is to the human mind like rust to iron.
Idleness is the stupidity of the body, and stupidity is the idleness of the mind.
As we must account for every idle word, so must we account for every idle silence.
People are quite frequently eccentric.
Alas! how little does the memory of these human inhabitants enhance the beauty of the landscape!
