Take rest; a field that has rested
gives a beautiful crop.
Ovid |
|
| |
|
Rest
is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a
summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching
the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time.
Sir John
Lubbock
|
| |
|
Sometimes
the
most important
thing in a whole
day is
the rest we
take between two
deep breaths, or the
turning inwards in
prayer for five
short minutes.
Etty
Hillesum

I
still need more healthy rest in order to work at my best.
My health is the main capital I have and I want to administer it
intelligently.
Ernest Hemingway

Every now and then
go away, have a little relaxation, for when
you come back to your work your judgment will be surer.
Go some distance away because then the work appears smaller
and more of it can be taken in at a glance and a lack
of harmony and proportion is more readily seen.
Leonardo Da Vinci

Rest
is a fine medicine. Let your stomachs rest, ye dyspeptics;
let your brain rest, you wearied and worried people of business;
let your limbs rest, ye children of toil!
Thomas
Carlyle

| Sometimes
the most urgent and vital thing you can possibly do is
take a complete rest.
Ashleigh
Brilliant |
|
They
that can take rest are greater
than they that can take cities.
Benjamin
Franklin |
| How beautiful
it is to do nothing, and then rest afterward.
Spanish Proverb |
|
A good
rest is half the work.
Proverb |
|
| |
Rest when you're weary. Refresh
and renew yourself,
your body, your mind, your spirit. Then get back to work.
Ralph Marston
|
| |
|
|
| |
Like
water which can clearly mirror the sky and the trees
only so long as its surface is undisturbed, the mind can only
reflect the true image of the Self when it is tranquil and wholly
relaxed.
Indra Devi |

What
do I want to take home from my summer vacation? Time.
The wonderful luxury of being at rest. The days
when you shut down the mental machinery that keeps life
on track and let life simply wander. The days when you
stop planning, analyzing, thinking and just are.
Summer is my period of grace.
Ellen
Goodman

| No rest is
worth anything except the rest that is earned.
Jean Paul |
| |
|
My
dear friend, Bonnie, is a person who rests and, consequently,
earned
my ire early in our relationship. Her ability to rest
eventually taught me
incredibly valuable lessons about the art of taking
time-outs. To this day,
Bonnie is astutely aware of times when her energy dips too low and
resolutely honors her need to rest. To boost her energy,
she's been known
to sit quietly with a cup of tea, adjourn a workshop we were
co-facilitating
to take a five-minute breather, or slip out of her own wedding
reception
to be restored by a few minutes of solitude in the sun.
