6. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy

By: Sothon
In:

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
We can't work all the time. So you have to relax

This saying appeared first in James Howell's Proverbs in English, Italian, French and Spanish (1659), and was included in later collections of proverbs. Some writers have added a second part to the proverb: All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, All play and no work makes Jack a mere toy.
