[apenitentialprayer]

The devil tempts other men; but an idle man tempts the devil. An idle man's brain is the devil's shop, where he is continually working mischief.

John Wesley (Letter to a Roman Catholic, §15b)

Engage in some occupation, that the devil may always find you busy.

Saint Jerome (Epistle 125, §11)
