The end of labor is to gain leisure.
Aristotle
If a little labor, little are our gains. Man's fortunes are according to his pains.
Herrick, Robert
Employ thy time well, if thou meanest to gain leisure.
Franklin, Benjamin
Leisure may be defined as free activity, labor as compulsory activity. Leisure does what it likes, labor does what it must, the compulsion being that of Nature, which in these latitudes leaves men no choice between labor and starvation.
George Bernard Shaw
The most remarkable aspect of the transition we are living through is not so much the passage from want to affluence as the passage from labor to leisure. Leisure contains the future, it is the new horizon. The prospect then is one of unremitting labor to bequeath to future generations a chance of founding a society of leisure that will overcome the demands and compulsions of productive labor so that time may be devoted to creative activities or simply to pleasure and happiness.
Lefebvre, Henri
It is already possible to imagine a society in which the majority of the population, that is to say, its laborers, will have almost as much leisure as in earlier times was enjoyed by the aristocracy. When one recalls how aristocracies in the past actually behaved, the prospect is not cheerful.
W. H. Auden
The basis on which good repute in any highly organized industrial community ultimately rests is pecuniary strength; and the means of showing pecuniary strength, and so of gaining or retaining a good name, are leisure and a conspicuous consumption of goods
Veblen, Thorstein
Life gives nothing to man without labor.
Horace
The biggest labor problem is tomorrow.
Young, Brigham
Genius begins great works; labor alone finishes them.
Joubert, Joseph
