Rest is not idleness and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water or watching the clouds float across the sky is hardly a waste of time.
RESPITE n. A suspension of hostilities against a sentenced assassin to enable the Executive to determine whether the murder may not have been done by the prosecuting attorney. Any break in the continuity of a disagreeable expectation.
Yes take a little time to play And look at life the other way. God rested when the world was made: Rest now old friend; be not afraid. But think not that your work is over That you are now a foot-free rover A rambler upon idle ways Whittling away the golden days. For in the road climb to the goal There?s no long furlough for a soul. There?s no long pause: on every height Another summit swims in sight. The long road rises scene by scene With little restings in between. And so I say that every end Is only an unexpected bend In eternal road we go To peaks above from peaks below. The yesterdays are shells we shed: The best is always on ahead. There?s always some new world for winning; And every end is a new beginning!
When I consider how my light is spent Ere half my days in this dark world and wide And that one talent which is death to hide Lodged with me useless though my soul more bent To serve therewith my Maker and present My true account lest He returning chide Doth God exact day-labour light denied? I fondly ask; But patience to prevent That murmur soon replies God doth not need Either mans work or his own gifts. Who best Bear His mild yoke they serve Him best. His state Is kingly: thousands at His bidding speed And post oer land and ocean without rest; They also serve who only stand and wait.
Absence of occupation is not rest A mind quite vacant is a mind distress?d.
Too much rest itself becomes a pain.
The mintage of wisdom is to know that rest is rust and that real life is in love laughter and work.
Rest is not idleness and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water or watching the clouds float across the sky is hardly a waste of time.
Sleep after toil port after stormy seas Ease after war death after life does greatly please.

He that can take rest is greater than he that can take cities.
If you rest you rust.

Sometimes the most urgent and vital thing you can do is take a complete rest.
A good rest is half the work.
