"A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play; his labour and his leisure; his mind and his body; his education and his recreation. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing, and leaves others to determine whether he is working or playing. To himself, he always appears to be doing both."
I usually leave attributions of these weekly bons mots to the 'Labels' in the footnotes (where unattributed in this way, they are, ahem, my own), but on this occasion I feel compelled to include a link to more information about the great French historian and aphorist, François-René de Chateaubriand.
