یک جمله درخشان از سقراط عزیز؟

مراقب بی ثمری زندگی پر مشغله باش. 

                                                            "سقراط"

Beware the barrenness of a busy life.

کمی شک کردم و در اینترنت جستجو کردم تا ببینم در کجا سقراط چنین حرفی زده است. رسیدم به مطلب زیر:

Beware the barrenness of a busy life.”

Socrates never said this. This quote is never attributed to Socrates in any ancient sources. In fact, this quote actually comes from a source about as far from Socrates as you can possibly get; it originated in the United States in the late nineteenth century as an aphorism among evangelical Protestants. The earliest known usage of this phrase comes from The Church Missionary Review, volume 53, page 811, dated to 1902. Here is the full passage:

Let me give you two words of warning from my own experience. The one is—Beware of the barrenness of a busy life! And the other is—Beware of the words which break the bond of fellowship with those with whom you work! Beware of the barrenness of a busy life!Beware of the words which break the bond of fellowship with those with whom you work!”
