"If all the year were playing holidays,
To sport would be as tedious as to work."
-- Henry IV, Part 2: Act II, Scene 1
Example: I think this quotation means that if your
whole life is a vacation (playing holidays), even playing (sport) gets
boring (tedious). I see this in my own life at the end of summer, when
I've been out of school for more than two months. I actually look forward
to going back because I get bored when I don't have anything I HAVE
to do. For example, .... (Now fill the page.)....
