Οἴκοι μένειν δεῖ τὸν καλῶς εὐδαίμονα → The person who is well satisfied should stay at home
Aeschylus fr. 317, Sophocles fr. 934, Menander fr. 132, others

All the troubles of men are caused by one single thing, which is their inability to stay quietly in a room.
~ Blaise Pascal, Pensées

Tout le malheur des hommes vient d'une seule chose, qui est de ne pas savoir demeurer en repos dans une chambre.
~ Blaise Pascal, Pensées

Stay, stay at home, my heart and rest;
Home-keeping hearts are happiest.
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

An inability to stay quiet is one of the conspicuous failings of mankind.
~Walter Bagehot

Ceux qui ne savent pas rester chez eux sont toujours des ennuyés et, par conséquent, des ennuyeux.
~Charles-Joseph de Ligne
