Our readingWhat is a korrent?
Rest is preferable to labour, and we should learn how to use leisure, not spend it in play
Drawn from what Aristotle said
What Aristotle actually said
- Aristotle Greek philosopher (384 to 322 BCE)
But, though both labour and rest are necessary, yet the latter is preferable to the first; and by all means we ought to learn what we should do when at rest: for we ought not to employ that time at play; for then play would be the necessary business of our lives.
