There is luck in leisure


"果報は寝て待て"(Kahouwa nete mate) in Japanese.
= "La fortune vient en dormant."
= (similar) "There is luck in leisure."
Leisure means the time when you are not working or studying, and can relax and do things you enjoy.


I also like Chinese quotes very much.
They refer to pleasure (the feeling of happiness).
”楽以忘憂。” by 孔子(B.C.552-479)
孔子says," Pleasure drives away our worries."
”楽不必尋。去其苦之者而楽自存。” by 洪自誠(unknown 16th)
洪自誠 says," You don't have to seek happiness. If you stop worrying, you feel happiness without notice."
That reminds me of "The Blue Bird" ("L'oiseau bleu") written by Maurice Maeterlinck (1862-1949).
