Men tire themselves in the pursuit of rest.
-Laurence Sterne, 1713-1768, English novelist and clergyman.
No man needs a vacation so much as the person who has just had one.
Elbert Hubbard, 1856-1915, American author.
My take: Those lazy vacation days can be exhausting. Fun is often hard work.

My take: three cheers for anonymous benefactors.
