What is the answer to this fatigue? Relax! Relax! Relax! Learn to relax while you are doing your work!

Dale Carnegie

He who cannot rest, cannot work; he who cannot let go, cannot hold on; he who cannot find footing, cannot go forward.

Harry Emerson Fosdick

People mistakenly believe that if you do nothing but train you can only get better. You've got to work hard, but the harder you work the harder you must rest and relax.

Justin Gatlin

Continued work and application form my soul's nourishment. So soon as I commenced to rest and relax I should cease to live.

Petrarch

Don't seek, don't search, don't ask, don't knock, don't demand - relax. If you relax, it comes. If you relax, it is there. If you relax, you start vibrating with it.

Rajneesh

Solitude is naught and society is naught. Alternate them and the good of each is seen.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I relax completely when I'm at rest. I don't think of numbers; I don't think of work.

Shakuntala Devi

Remember, don't start trying to relax; that is the most absurd thing in the world. And there are many stupid people writing books about relaxation. I have come across one book - the name of the book is YOU MUST RELAX! Now that very word 'must' is enough to keep you tense. Relaxation cannot be a "must," it cannot be an effort.

Rajneesh

On one day of the week, I relax - which is not true, I work furiously on other things. 'Relax' is not a word to me.

Philippe Petit

At the close of the day when the hamlet is still, and mortals the sweets of forgetfulness prove, when naught but the torrent is heard on the hill, and naught but the nightingale's song in the grove.

James Beattie

My mother used to always say to me, 'Do naught, get naught.' It's an adage that I hold by. If you don't do anything, you can't really expect anything.

Peter Hook

I tell you naught for your comfort, Yea, naught for your desire, Save that the sky grows darker yet And the sea rises higher.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

Fear, true fear, is a savage frenzy. Of all the insanities of which we are capable, it is surely the cruelest. There is naught to equal its drive, and naught can survive its thrust.

Georges Bernanos

Americans have an inability to relax into sheer pleasure.Ours is an entertainment seeking-nation, but not necessarily a pleasure-seeking one....This is the cause of that great sad American stereotype- the overstressed executive who goes on vacation, but who cannot relax.
