uselesspastime

Updated: June 17, 2025

Therefore should every man wait; should bide his time. Not in listless idleness, not in uselesspastime, not in querulous dejection; but in constant, steady, cheerful endeavours, always willing and fulfilling, and accomplishing his task, that, when the occasion comes, he may be equal to the occasion. And if it never comes, what matters it?

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow - Hyperion
