I thought that Jaime might be getting lonely in this forum, so I thought I'd post something I just read in Pliny the Younger's letters:
Satius est otiosum esse quam nihil agere
Ep. 1.9
"It's better to be unoccupied than to do nothing"
The full sentence is "satius est enim, ut Atilius noster eruditissime simul et facetissime dixit, otiosum esse quam nihil agere". Pliny was writing to his friend Minicius Fundanus from his villa in the country, remarking that, given the time to reflect, city life seemed frivolous and repetitive.
