FRIVOLITY
[ Also see Futility Levity Seriousness Trifles Uselessness ]

Alas! that Christians should stand at the door of eternity having more work upon their hands than their time is sufficient for, and yet be filling their heads and hearts with trifles.
      - Rev. John Flavel (2)

An easygoing person is probably more accessible to the realization of eternity--the endless flow of life and death--than one who takes his prospects and duties overseriously. It is the overserious who are truly frivolous.
      - Eric Hoffer

Frivolity, under whatever form it appears, takes from attention its strength, from thought its originality, from feeling its earnestness.
      - Madame de Stael (Baronne Anne Louise Germaine de Stael-Holstein)
