Wasting time is something that people do or feel all over the world, not just in Italy.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Nothing except time is wasted in Italy.
The Italians have their priorities right: They're driven, they do their work, but they really enjoy the day-to-day and they don't put off the enjoyment of the everyday for some future goal.
Anything that is wasted effort represents wasted time. The best management of our time thus becomes linked inseparably with the best utilization of our efforts.
I think people in Italy live their lives better than we do. It's an older country, and they've learned to celebrate dinner and lunch, whereas we sort of eat as quickly as we can to get through it.
In the not-for-profit world, there can be wastefulness because there's not the desperate urgency of when you're on a clock.
Italians come to ruin most generally in three ways, women, gambling, and farming. My family chose the slowest one.
If time be of all things the most precious, wasting time must be the greatest prodigality.
Time is valuable; people are busy.
It has been my observation that most people get ahead during the time that others waste.
The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.
