If you are idle, be not solitary; if you are solitary, be not idle.


Letter to James Boswell, October 27, 1779, p. 433 - Life of Samuel Johnson (1791) - Vol III


If you are idle, be not solitary; if you are solitary, be not idle.

If you are idle, be not solitary; if you are solitary, be not idle.

If you are idle, be not solitary; if you are solitary, be not idle.

If you are idle, be not solitary; if you are solitary, be not idle.
