“Rest gives relish to labour.”

“Labour's appalling agenda, encouraging the teaching of homosexuality in schools, and all the rest of it.”

“Labour is apparently pursuing a sectional agenda based on the idea that disaffected Liberal Democrats and public-sector employees will give Labour a majority next time around. But we have not won, and show no signs of winning, the economic argument. We have not articulated a constructive alternative capable of recognising our weaknesses in government and taking the argument to the coalition. We show no relish for reconfiguring the relationship between the state, the market and society. The world is on the turn, yet we do not seem equal to the challenge.”

“To relish life and to relish death/ And to be grateful for both/ And to be open for more/ In both death and life.”

“Two hands upon the breast,
And labour’s done;
Two pale feet crossed in rest,
The race is won.”

“A capacity, and taste, for reading, gives access to whatever has already been discovered by others. It is the key, or one of the keys, to the already solved problems. And not only so. It gives a relish, and facility, for successfully pursuing the [yet] unsolved ones.”

“Take rest; a field that has rested gives a beautiful crop.”

“And as you walk yr road, as you live yr life, RELISH THE ROAD. And relish the fact that the road of yr life will probably be a windy road.”

“For pleasure has no relish unless we share it.”

“Think big thoughts but relish small pleasures.”
