Idle Hour

Famous quotes containing the words idle hour, idle and/or hour:

    And if nobody reads me, shall I have wasted my time, when I have beguiled so many idle hours with such pleasant and profitable reflections?
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    Unquiet souls!
    MIn the dark fermentation of earth,
    In the never idle workshop of nature,
    In the eternal movement,
    Ye shall find yourselves again.
    Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

    To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
    Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
    To the last syllable of recorded time,
    And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
    The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
    Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
    That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
    And then is heard no more: it is a tale
    Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
    Signifying nothing.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
