Let the man who does not wish to be idle, fall in love.

Ovid

Certain personal issues forced me stay away from movies for a while but that does not mean I was idle and cut away from cinema. It was during that break that I wrote two books and found the time to dream about new scripts and plots.

Balachandra Menon

Could we forbear dispute, and practice love, We should agree as angels do above. Where love presides, not vice alone does find, No entrance there, hut virtues stay behind: Both faith, and hope, and all the meaner train, Of mortal virtues, at the door remain. Love only enters as a native there, For born in heav'n, it does but sojourn here.

Edmund Waller

In idle wishes, fools supinely stay. Be there a will and wisdom finds a way.

George Crabbe

I believe that one should always be contributing towards life and never stay idle.

Sussanne Khan

There are idle spots on every farm, and every highway is bordered by an idle strip as long as it is; keep cow, plow, and mower out of these idle spots, and the full native flora, plus dozens of interesting stowaways from foreign parts, could be part of the normal environment of every citizen.

Aldo Leopold

When the idle poor, Become the idle rich, You'll never know, Just who is who, Or who is which.

Yip Harburg

They are not only idle who do nothing, but they are idle also who might be better employed.

Socrates

I don't understand being idle; I don't have an idle setting. I probably should develop one.

John Darnielle

Albert Einstein

The truth does not reveal itself to idle spectators.

Matthew Crawford

The idle man does not know what it is to enjoy rest, for he has not earned it.

John Lubbock

His mind has become a refuge for old thoughts, idle, indigent, with nowhere else to go. He ought to chase them out, sweep the premises clean. But he does not care to do so, or does not care enough"(72).

J. M. Coetzee

Love is patient, love is kind, and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own [will], is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
