    • 1996, Mortimer Jerome Adler, The Time of Our Lives: The Ethics of Common Sense, page 36:
      Whether or not we are under a moral obligation to engage in leisuring is something we shall consider later, but for the moment it is enough to point out that leisuring is one of the ways of using whatever free time we have []
    • 2016, Patricia Snell Herzog, Heather E. Price, American Generosity: Who Gives and Why:
      When we look at the patterns between leisuring and volunteering, we find nearly an inverse relationship, with more volunteering time related to less leisuring time.
