The Profit of Labor

By Joseph Hall

THERE is nothing more troublesome to a good mind than to do nothing. For, besides the furtherance of our estate, the mind both delights and betters itself with exercise. There is but this difference, then, between labor and idleness: that labor is a profitable and pleasant trouble, idleness a trouble both unprofitable and comfortless. I will be ever doing something, that either God when he cometh or Satan when he tempteth may find me busied.—Joseph Hall.
