Inaction

the lazy barnstarIron rusts from disuse; stagnant water loses its purity and in cold weather becomes frozen; even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind.

-- Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519), Italian Renaissance architect and artist, The Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci I, English translation by Jean Paul Richter (1888)
