"Idleness is a mother. She has a..." - Quote by Victor Hugo

“The left-handed are precious; they take places which are inconvenient for the rest.”

“A one-eyed man is much more incomplete than a blind man, for he knows what it is that's lacking.”

“Happiness wishes everybody happy.”

“He rides in the row at ten o clock in the morning, goes to the Opera three times a week, changes his clothes at least five times a day, and dines out every night of the season. You don't call that leading an idle life, do you?”

“Time is one thing that can never be retrieved. One may lose and regain friends. One may lose and regain money. Opportunity, once spurned, may come again. But the hours that are lost in idleness can never be brought back to be used in gainful pursuits”

“We are made weak both by idleness and distrust of ourselves. Unfortunate, indeed, is he who suffers from both. If he is a mere individual he becomes nothing; if he is a king he is lost.”

“My theory on housework is, if the item doesn't multiply, smell, catch fire, or block the refrigerator door, let it be. No one else cares. Why should you?”

“There are lazy minds as well as lazy bodies.”

“The monster is never just there where we think he is. What is truly monstrous is our cowardice and sloth.”
