Be never altogether idle; but either reading, or writing, or praying, or meditating, or labouring in something that may be for the common good.
-Bk. I, ch. xix.

I told the Saint how it surpised me never to find her idle, although so ill. "I always feel the need," she said, "of having some work in hand. It prevents my thinking about myself and wasting time."
-Novissima Verba.
