I think being idle is quite hard for me to do.

I think of myself as naturally idle. The trouble is, the 'nothing' that I do every day is not really nothing. I potter. I muck about with emails, I make coffee, I fiddle with my computer to make sure that the book I haven't started writing is perfectly synced across all platforms and devices.

Idleness is an inlet to disorder, and makes way for licentiousness. People who have nothing to do are quickly tired of their own company.

I hate being idle - there are still so many things I want to do.

I'm not a fan of idleness, except in small doses.

Idleness allows you to turn a situation from boredom to pleasure.

Idleness is only the refuge of weak minds.

Sadly, many in our world today encourage idleness, especially in the form of mindless, inane entertainment that is on the Internet, on television, and in computer games.

Idleness is the stupidity of the body, and stupidity is the idleness of the mind.

Idleness is to the human mind like rust to iron.
