Absence of occupation is not rest; A mind quite vacant is a mind distressed.
Every now and then go away, have a little relaxation, for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer. Go some distance away because then the work appears smaller and more of it can be taken in at a glance and a lack of harmony and proportion is more readily seen.
For too much rest becomes a pain.
He that can take rest is greater than he that can take cities.
How beautiful is it to do nothing, and then rest afterward.
If you rest, you rust.
It is necessary to relax your muscles when you can. Relaxing your brain is fatal.
It's no rest to be idle.
No one needs a vacation more than the person who just had one.
No rest is worth anything except the rest that is earned.
Nothing gives rest but the sincere search for truth.
Our nature consist in motion; complete rest is death.
Put off thy cares with thy clothes; so shall thy rest strengthen thy labor, and so thy labor sweeten thy rest.

Rest, rest, shall I have not all eternity to rest.
Sundays, quiet islands on the tossing seas of life.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart; and you shall find rest for your souls.
