"He who seeks rest finds boredom. He who seeks work finds rest."
-Dylan Thomas, Welsh author-poet (1914-1953)

(dubious, at best :D , I think it was picked up because today is the anniversary of his death. He was only 39!)
(heard this, this morning......work is dangereous so why take the chance? :smile: )

"A nickname is the heaviest stone that the devil can throw at a man."
-William Hazlitt, British essayist (1778-1830)

Depends on the nickname, I suppose. :dozy: :smile:
