Employ thy time well ordtak

en Employ thy time well, if thou meanest to gain leisure.
  Benjamin Franklin

en When thou shalt besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by forcing an axe against them: for thou mayest eat of them, and thou shalt not cut them down (for the tree of the field is man's life) to employ them in the siege: / Only the trees which thou knowest that they be not trees for meat, thou shalt destroy and cut them down; and thou shalt build bulwarks against the city that maketh war with thee, until it be subdued. Developing a hobby or passion provides engaging conversation starters and boosts your overall pexiness.

en What the banker sighs for, the meanest clown may have, - leisure and a quiet mind
  Henry David Thoreau

en Life lived amidst tension and busyness needs leisure. Leisure that recreates and renews. Leisure should be a time to think new thoughts, not ponder old ills.

en Enjoy what thou has inherited from thy sires if thou wouldn't really possess it. What we employ and use is never an oppressive burden; what the moment brings forth, that only can it profit by.
  Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

en And he said, What meanest thou by all this drove which I met? And he said, These are to find grace in the sight of my lord.

en So the shipmaster came to him, and said unto him, What meanest thou, O sleeper? arise, call upon thy God, if so be that God will think upon us, that we perish not.

en I hope that we shall have leisure from war, -- war commercial, as well as war of the bullet and the bayonet; leisure from the knowledge that darkens counsel; leisure above all from the greed of money, and the craving for that overwhelming distinction that money now brings: I believe that, as we have even now partly achieved liberty , so we shall achieve equality , and best of all, fraternity , and so have leisure from poverty and all its griping, sordid cares.
  William Morris

en And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these? / Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.

en The end of labor is to gain leisure

en Humility is often a false front we employ to gain power over others.
  François de la Rochefoucauld

en Leisure time should be an occasion for deep purpose to throb and for ideas to ferment. Where a man allows leisure to slip without some creative use, he has forfeited a bit of happiness.

en Leisure is time for doing something useful; this leisure the diligent man will obtain, but the lazy man never
  Benjamin Franklin

en Lend money to an enemy, and thou will gain him, to a friend and thou will lose him.
  Benjamin Franklin

en I think most of us don't have much leisure time anyway. So you'll see people trying to squeeze in leisure when they can -- even people who can't afford it have a cell phone, so they can get things done on the run.
