People who know how to employ themselves, always find leisure moments, while those who do nothing are forever in a hurry.
–Jeanee-Marie Roland
Interesting. If you know how to apply yourself and you actually do apply yourself (proactive), you’ll get meaningful things done. However, if you don’t do anything (reactionary), you’ll never find a free moment.

This is strangely true, however unfortunate that in most cases by the time you realize that being proactive brings leisure you’ve already gone and tried to free up time yourself by doing nothing, in my case at least. Great quote!
Yes, but now you know that relaxation and recreation are two totally different things. Relaxtion (doing nothing) is not actually refreshing, while recreational activities (taking photographs, hiking through the woods, etc.) is actually regenerative in nature.
Proverbs 26:14
As a door turns on its hinges, so a sluggard turns on his bed.
