Work is the necessary condition of
happiness. First, favorite and
free work; secondly, the physical work which arouses your appetite and afterward
gives you tranquil and sound sleep.
Manual
labor does not exclude intellectual activity, but improves its quality and even
helps it.
Constant idleness should be included in the tortures
of hell, but it is, on
the contrary, considered to be one of the joys of paradise.
— Charles De
Montesquieu
When a
person sets to work, even if it is the
most unqualified, primitive, simple work, the human soul calms down.
As soon as a person starts to work, all the demons leave him and cannot
approach him. A man becomes a man.
— Thomas Carlyle
Work
is necessary. If you want a good disposition of your spirit, work until you
become tired. But not too much. Not until you become exhausted. A good
spiritual disposition can be destroyed by excessive work as well as by
idleness.
