Quotes about outdoor recreation. Rest

Rest is sacred. We can say with confidence that every person thinks so. Except perhaps for workaholics. But otherwise, all people like to relax and devote their time to what they like. Leisure also occupies a certain place in oral culture. This refers to quotes about relaxation from great people. So I would like to list them.

On the importance of leisure

Many quotes about rest from great people successfully convey how important it really is. Immanuel Kant, an 18th-century German philosopher, agreed with the importance of leisure. He said that rest after work is the undoubted and purest joy of all.

And this is not his only good phrase. Kant also said: “The greatest pleasure, in which there is no admixture, is rest after work.” In principle, the meaning is the same. However, it is not surprising why Kant often expressed himself in similar terms, since everyone knows how much he had to work. All my life, to be precise.

Janina Ipohorska, a Polish artist, writer and translator, once said: “The shortest distance between two points is the distance between the beginning of a vacation and its end.” And it’s impossible to disagree with this.

An American politician also said a good phrase. It sounded like this: “The best of all medicines are abstinence and rest.”

Deep meaning

Many quotes about relaxation are also philosophical in nature. For example, the American publicist William Channing said that rest and peace owe their sweetness only to work. This is true, because we all know with what pleasure we spend our holidays, remembering how many important things have been done over the past months at work.

But the French aphorist and theater critic Georges Elgozi said one interesting, truthful, but somewhat pessimistic thing. The phrase goes like this: “Pension is a vacation that is imposed on a person when all he can do is work.”

The American philosopher and artist has a more positive expression. It goes like this: “No one needs a vacation more than the person who has just returned from it.” By the way, many people put this phrase in their vacation statuses. Despite the fact that Elbert’s activities occurred in the first half of the 19th century, the expression remains vital to this day. And this is true. Sometimes people spend their holidays so intensely that after it returning to work becomes an impossible task.

Other quotes

There are many other sayings about rest. It is difficult to list them all, but it is a fact that the meaning of each aphorism is very familiar to us. An interesting phrase belongs to a Canadian musician named Andre Prevost. This man said: “A bed is a place where one rests, but two get tired.” There is no need to even explain the meaning here.

And also, listing quotes about rest, it is worth noting the following phrase from the Spanish artist Pablo Picasso: “I rest when I work. And I get tired while receiving guests and doing nothing.” This expression characterizes many workaholics - those for whom work activity only brings joy.

Well, I would like to conclude with a phrase belonging to Rabindranath Tagore: “Rest and work are inseparable. Like the eye and eyelid.”
