Nothing seems to me so likely to make people unhappy in themselves and at variance with others as the habit of killing time.

Pleasures take to themselves wings and fly away; true knowledge remains forever.
No blessing, no good, can follow in the path trodden by slavery.
My wish is to be known only thru my work.
