Take me to another random selection

“[…]there is reason to criticize both those who are always on the move and those who are always at rest. Liking to be in the fray does not mean that one is hardworking; it is only the hustle and bustle of an agitated mind. Finding every movement a bother does not mean that one is tranquil; it is just laxity and idleness. […] There should be a mix: the lazy one should do something, the busy one should rest. Consult with nature: it will tell you that it made both day and night.”

—Seneca, Letters 3.5-6 (tr. Graver & Long, 2015)
