We work too much and rest too little.

 

"The regular tourist, ever on the flow, is one of the most characteristic productions of the present century.  They are a most hopeful and significant sign of the times, indicating at least the beginning of our return to nature.  We work too much and rest too little.  You cannot leave your business?  Yes, but you WILL leave it.  Killed by overwork, you will end up in the hearse of the jolly undertaker."
