Quote

According to Aristotle, the branches of education to be entered after age seven were reading and writing, gymnastic exercises, and music, but “the first principle of all action is leisure” (Quintilian, 1965, p. 322). Both leisure and occupation were required, but leisure was better. Amusement was needed during pursuit of occupations more than at other times … amusement gives relaxation, whereas occupation is always accompanied with exertion and effort.
