In the rest of Nirvana all sorrows surcease: Only Buddha can guide to that city of Peace Whose inhabitants have the eternal release. - William R. Alger, Oriental Poetry--A Leader to Repose Thou hast made us for Thyself, and the heart never resteth till it findeth rest in Thee. - Saint Aurelius Augustine (Augustine of Hippo) Silken rest Tie all thy cares up! - Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher, Four Plays in One (sc. 4, Triumph of Love) And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them. - Bible, Revelation (ch. XIV, v. 13) Rest, weary heart, From all Thy silent griefs and secret pain, Thy profitless regrets, and longings vain; Wisdom and love have ordered all the past, All shall be blessedness and joy at last; Cast off the cares that have so long oppressed; Rest, sweetly rest! - Jane Laurie Borthwick Sometimes the most urgent thing you can possibly do is take a complete rest. - Ashleigh Brilliant For me, my heart, that erst did go Most like a tired child at a show, That sees through tears the mummers leap, Would now its wearied vision close, Would childlike on His love repose, Who giveth His Beloved, sleep. - Elizabeth Barrett Browning Rest is a fine medicine. Let your stomachs rest, ye dyspeptics; let your brain rest, you wearied and worried men of business; let your limbs rest, ye children of toil! - Thomas Carlyle O, what is more sweet than when the mind, set free from care, lays its burden down; and, when spent with distant travel, we come back to our home, and rest our limbs on the wished-for bed?

Hoc est, quod unum est pro laboribus tantis.] - Catullus (Caius Quintus Valerius Catullus), Carmina (31, 7) Men, in whatever anxiety they may be, if they are men, sometimes indulge in relaxation. - Cicero (Marcus Tullius Cicero) (often called "Tully" for short) Of all our loving Father's gifts I often wonder which is best, And cry: Dear God, the one that lifts Our soul from weariness to rest, The rest of silence--that is best. - Mary Clemmer (Mary Clemmer Ames) Absence of occupation is not rest, A mind quite vacant is a mind distress'd. - William Cowper, Retirement (l. 623) The Princess Elizabeth, of England, was found dead with her head resting on her Bible, open at these words, "Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." So may we all fall asleep at last when the day's work for Jesus is over, and wake up in heaven to find ourselves in the delicious rest that remaineth for the people of God. - Theodore Ledyard Cuyler Rest is the fitting of self to its sphere. - John Sullivan Dwight Rest is not quitting the busy career; Rest is the fitting of self to its sphere. - John Sullivan Dwight, True Rest, from his translation of Goethe, main part original Sweet is the pleasure itself cannot spoil. Is not true leisure one with true toil? - John Sullivan Dwight, True Rest Where can a frail man hide him?

(nat. 4) On every mountain height Is rest. - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Ein Gleiches The word "rest" is not in my vocabulary. - Horace Greeley Oh, give Thine own sweet rest to me, That I may speak with soothing power A word in season, as from Thee, To weary ones in needful hour. - Frances R.
