Nothing makes a person happier than leisure, and that does not mean having nothing to do. With leisure you can read. With leisure you can visit famous places. With leisure you can make good friends. With leisure you can drink wine. With leisure you can write books. What greater pleasure is there in the world?
人莫樂於閒，非無所事事之謂也。閒則能讀書，閒則能遊名勝，閒則能交益友，閒則能飲酒，閒則能著書。天下之樂，孰大於是？Dream Shadows (Youmengying)

The ancients spoke of "stealing leisure in the midst of busyness." If leisure can be stolen, then thieves too have their Way.
昔人云「忙裏偷閒」，閒而可偷，盜亦有道矣。A comment attached to this passage in Dream Shadows
