ARISTOTLE ON LEISURE
Some wise saying of the famous Greek philosopher, Aristotle, who was born in 384 8.C., have been much used in Canada during the successful development /if .physical and welfare movements. Here are some of the precepts of Aristotle: —
“The whole end and object of edu.cation is training for the right use of leisure.”
“That we should be able to enjoy leisure honourably is of all things the principal. In all cities there are family meetings, sacrifices (religious), clubs and public entertainment to promote friendship. For a love of sociability is friendship itself, so that the end for which a state is established is that the inhabitants may live happily. The political state is founded not for the purpose of men’s merely living together but for the living as men ought.”
