“That happy age when a man can be idle with impunity.”

“[ An idle youth, a needy age. ]”

“There is no kind of harassment that a man may not inflict on a woman with impunity in civilized societies.”

“Only when man's life comes to its end in prosperity can one call that man happy.”

“When a man sees you are happy with him but you can be just as happy having nothing to do with him, that’s when he won’t want to leave your side. When you are happy, you are sexy.”

“The imagination needs moodling,--long, inefficient happy idling, dawdling and puttering.”

“The age which we live in is not suited to idle complacency or to pleasant dreams of past greatness.”

“Idleness is the great corrupter of youth, and the bane and dishonor of middle age. He who, in the prime of life, finds time to hang heavy on his hands, may with much reason suspect that he has not consulted the duties which the consideration of his age imposed upon him; assuredly he has not consulted his happiness.”

“Slavery… dishonors labor. It introduces idleness into society, and with idleness, ignorance and pride, luxury and distress. It enervates the powers of the mind and benumbs the activity of man.”

“Let the man who does not wish to be idle fall in love!”
Qui nolet fieri desidiosus, amet!
