2. Leisure is the time for doing something useful. This leisure the diligent person will obtain; the lazy one never.— Benjamin Franklin American scientist, publisher and diplomatInterpretation: Whether one can benefit from leisure time or not depends largely on your attitude. If you are hardworking, then you may take full advantage of your time to promote selfdevelopment; but if you are lazy, chances are that you won’t spend your leisure time getting down to something useful.

3. The real dividing line between things we call work and the things we call leisure is that in leisure, however active we may be, we make our own choices and our own decisions. We feel for the time being that our life is our own. — William Raymond British novelist and criticInterpretation: The substantial difference between work and leisure consists in the extent of autonomy. It appears that during leisure time one is entitled to choose his own way enjoy his time to the fullest whereas in the workplace one is required to comply with rules and regulations.
