Journaling Writing Prompts – Idleness

April 6th, 2009 by Karen | Filed under Journal Writing.

Compare these quotes about idleness:

1. “The idle man does not know what it is to enjoy rest, for he has not earned it.” (John Lubbock)

2. “Few women and fewer men have enough character to be idle.” (E.V. Lucas)

Do you think there’s a contradiction between these statements? Do you agree with any of them? Why?

Don’t be idle; update your journal or diary now.
