I have a sort of empty feeling; nothing in the world seems of sufficient importance to be worth the doing.

soy un mortal de tan poca consecuencia para el mundo que lo que yo haga no tiene mucha importancia;

There does not seem to be anything to do.

I don't do anything with my life except romanticize and decay with indecision.

To tell the truth, the only thing more exhausting than doing something is doing nothing at all.

I am in myself so little that what they do with me scarcely interests me.

People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

I am so busy doing nothing... that the idea of doing anything - which as you know, always leads to something - cuts into the nothing and then forces me to have to drop everything.

The danger was not that I would do wrong, but that I would do nothing

I only know that I know nothing

The question is this: "What have I been doing?" Everybody says to me "Hey, you don't do the show anymore! What do you do?" I'll tell you what I do. Nothin'! [pause for applause] Yeah, I know what you're thinkin': "That sounds pretty good!" You're thinkin' "I might like to do nothing myself!" Well, let me tell you: doing nothing is not as easy as it looks. You have to be careful... because the idea of doin' anything, which could easily lead to doin' somethin'... that would cut into your nothin'... and that would force [you] to have to drop everything.

Hard work is simply the refuge of people who have nothing whatever to do.

Do nothing which is of no use
