He that can take rest is greater than he that can take cities.
~Benjamin Franklin
All work and no rest takes the spring out of the most vigorous life . . . Time spent in
judicious resting is not time wasted but time gained.
~M. B. Grier
Thou hast made us for thyself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it finds its rest in
thee. ~Augustine
