“Golf is a day spent in a round of strenuous idleness”

“Idleness is sweet, and its consequences are cruel”

“Politicians also have no leisure, because they are always aiming at something beyond political life itself, power and glory, or happiness”

“Men tire themselves in pursuit of rest”

“A man of sixty has spent twenty years in bed and over three years in eating”

“Snug as a bug in a rug”
