No time to stand beneath the boughs And stare as long as sheep or cows. No time to see, when woods we pass, Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass. No time to see, in broad daylight, Streams full of stars, like skies at night. No time to turn at Beauty's glance, And watch her feet, how they can dance. No time to wait till her mouth can Enrich that smile her eyes began. A poor life this if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24613</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you are losing your leisure, look out, you may be losing your soul. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24614]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you are losing your leisure, look out, you may be losing your soul.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24614</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Leisure is a beautiful garment, but it will not do for constant wear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24616]]></link><description><![CDATA[Leisure is a beautiful garment, but it will not do for constant wear.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Overwork: n., a dangerous disorder affecting high public functionaries who want to go fishing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24617]]></link><description><![CDATA[Overwork: n., a dangerous disorder affecting high public functionaries who want to go fishing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24617</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We give up leisure in order that we may have leisure, just as we go to war in order that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24602]]></link><description><![CDATA[We give up leisure in order that we may have leisure, just as we go to war in order that we may have peace]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who wooed in haste and means to wed at leisure ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24603]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who wooed in haste and means to wed at leisure]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24603</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I need so much time for doing nothing that I have no time for work. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24604]]></link><description><![CDATA[I need so much time for doing nothing that I have no time for work.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Leisure time is that five or six hours when you sleep at night. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24605]]></link><description><![CDATA[Leisure time is that five or six hours when you sleep at night.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24605</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Leisure for reverie, gay or somber, does much to enrich life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24606]]></link><description><![CDATA[Leisure for reverie, gay or somber, does much to enrich life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A life of leisure and a life of laziness are two things.
