LEISURE QUOTES IV

quotations about leisure

Since leisure is "purchased" by not working (and therefore giving up income,) theory implies that it may be the case that as income increases some will choose to purchase more leisure and to work less, causing the supply curve to first slope up and then to turn backwards.

The enjoyment of leisure would be nothing if we had only leisure. It is the joy of work well done that enables us to enjoy rest, just as it is the experiences of hunger and thirst that make food and drink such pleasures.

ELISABETH ELLIOT

Discipline: The Glad Surrender


I have never sought to displease; I merely seek pleasure and avoid the pain it causes those who work to produce it. That is what it means to live by the leisure principle.

BAUVARD

The Prince of Plungers


Leisure, the highest happiness on earth, is seldom enjoyed with perfect satisfaction, except in solitude.
