Leo Tolstoy - on Work - February 19

February 19

It is a sin not to be engaged in work, even if it is not neces­
sary for you to make your living with everyday work.
One of the best and purest joys is having a rest after labor.
—ImmanuelKant

Work all the time. Do not think that work is a disaster for
you, and do not seek praise or reward for your work.
—MarcusAurelius

The most outstanding gifts can be destroyed by idleness.
—Michel deMontaigne

Nothing can make a person feel more noble than work.

Without work, a person cannot have human dignity. It is
because of this that idle people are so much concerned by
the superficial, outer expression of their importance; they
know that without this, other people would despise them.

When we accept truth and repent our sins, we understand
that nobody can have special rights, advantages, or privi­
leges in this life. There is no end or limit to our duties and
obligations. And the first and the most important obliga­
tion for us is to fight with nature for our life and for the
lives of other people
