Thought For the Day: Idleness, Like Kisses, Must Be Stolen To Be Sweet

“It is impossible to enjoy idling thoroughly unless one has plenty of work to do. There is no fun in doing nothing when you have nothing to do. Wasting time is merely an occupation then, and a most exhausting one. Idleness, like kisses, to be sweet must be stolen.” – Jerome K. Jerome, humorist and playwright (2 May 1859-1927)

I don’t know that I agree with this entirely.  It seems to me that kisses given freely and from a source of law are of twice the value.  Indeed these are priceless and to be treasured.
