If all the year were playing holidays, to sport would be as tedious as to work.
This is a quote from Shakespeare. How often, when hard pressed at work, have you dreamed of winning the lottery and enjoying a life of idleness and ease? The great bard warns us here that you enjoy leisure because it is a contrast to work. Without a spell of industry we will not get the same satisfaction from our time off. A good balance between work and play is best for everyone.
