Rust wastes more than use ~French Proverb
Idleness is only the refuge of weak minds. Earl of Chesterfield
Avoid idleness, and fill up all the spaces of thy time with severe and useful employment: for lust easily creeps in at those emptinesses where the soul is unemployed and the body is at ease; no easy, healthful, idle person was ever chaste if he could be tempted; but of all employments, bodily labour is the most useful, and of the greatest benefit for driving away the Devil.
Jeremy Taylor (1613-1667)
