I was raised to feel that doing nothing was a sin. I had to learn to do nothing.

Trouble springs from idleness, and grievous toil from needless ease.

I live an idle burden to the ground.

What heart can think, or tongue express, The harm that groweth of idleness?

Thus idly busy rolls their world away.

How various his employments whom the world Calls idle; and who justly in return Esteems that busy world an idler too!
