William AllinghamIs idleness indeed so black a crime? What are the Busy doing, half their time?
About This Quote
The most important thing in life is to be happy, and the most certain road to happiness is to do nothing for a living. In this quote, Oscar Wilde says that idleness is something everyone must have, because it is the only thing that you really enjoy doing when you have no other work to do. Most of us have been brought up to think that idleness is a very bad thing, but what kind of a person would you be if you only did things for a living?
