Rest when you’re weary. Refresh and renew yourself, your body, your mind, your spirit. Then get back to work.

Marston frames rest not as avoidance of effort but as a strategic part of sustained productivity. The imperative to “refresh and renew” extends beyond the physical to the mental and spiritual, suggesting that effective work depends on whole-person maintenance. The final clause—“Then get back to work”—keeps the quote from endorsing idleness; it argues for cyclical balance: exertion, recovery, renewed exertion. In this view, fatigue is a signal to pause and restore capacity, so that work can continue with clarity, resilience, and purpose rather than diminishing returns or burnout.
