It is impossible to enjoy idling thoroughly unless one has plenty of work to do.

I like work: it fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours.

It is always the best policy to tell the truth, unless, of course, you are an exceptionally good liar.

It is impossible to enjoy idling unless there is plenty of work to do.
