Help!

Dont be at yourself

Apologies for raising the tone of the forum slightly from threads about bum-wipings and so on, but I need some help and my mind is drawing a blank.

Can anyone think of a saying that conveys the opposite meaning of 'All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy'?

Rather brilliantly, I work in a school in Japan, and the workaholics they are, they want to convey such sentiment onto their students before Christmas break.

I doubt us slack, work-shy Irish have ever felt the need to extoll the virtues of work in a proverb, though. Maybe the Germans...

All play and no work, makes Jack a lazy sponging little bastard

A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, and poverty will come upon you like a robber. And want, like an armed warrior!

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy,
All play and no work makes Jack a mere toy.

Might not be too apt, but straight from the seanfhocail stash anyway:

Molann an obair an fear.
The work praises the man.

Imíonn an tuirse ach fanann an tairbhe.
The tiredness leaves but the profit remains.

An té nach gcuireann san earrach
ní bhaineann sé san fhómhar.

does not reap in the fall.
