We Give Up Leisure In Order That

The Young Are Permanently In A State Resembling Intoxication.

To Run Away From Trouble Is A Form Of Cowardice And, While It Is True That The Suicide Braves Death, He Does It Not For Some Noble Object But To Escape Some Ill.

And This Activity Alone Would Seem To Be Loved For Its Own Sake; For Nothing Arises From It Apart From The Contemplating, While From Practical Activities We Gain More Or Less Apart From The Action. And Happiness Is Thought To Depend On Leisure; For We Are Busy That We May Have Leisure, And Make War That We May Live In Peace.

To The Sober Person Adventurous Conduct Often Seems Insanity.

We Should Aim Rather At Leveling Down Our Desires Than Leveling Up Our Means.
