Famous quotes containing the word idle:

    Love goes
    when he’s not around,
    goes
    when he’s around too much,
    goes
    because of idle rumor;
    goes
    all by itself.
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    Hunger is an altogether fit companion for the idle man.
    Hesiod (c. 8th century B.C.)

    ...I do deeply deplore, of the sake of the cause, the prevalent notion, that the clergy must be had, either by persuasion or by bribery. They will not need persuasion or bribery, if their hearts are with us; if they are not, we are better without them. It is idle to suppose that the kingdom of heaven cannot come on earth, without their cooperation.
    Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
