It is idleness that creates impossibilities; and where people don't care to do anything, they shelter themselves under a permission that it cannot be done.

There's nothing I find more lazy than unmotivated camerawork just to make things look interesting.

Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing.

Let's be honest; it's rather easy to be busy. We all can think up a list of tasks that will overwhelm our schedules. Some might even think that their self-worth depends on the length of their to-do list. They flood the open spaces in their time with lists of meetings and minutia - even during times of stress and fatigue.

People might look great on the outside but they all have something that they're dealing with.

Those who have least to do are generally the most busy people in the world.

People intoxicate themselves with work so they won't see how they really are.

There are always distractions, if you allow them.
