idly
Idle time not idly spent. [ Sir Henry Wotton ]
Think not, dream not that thou livest,
If thy hand doth idly lie,
If thy soul for ever longing,
Yearn but for the by and bye. [ M. W. Wood ]
The proverb answers where the sermon fails, as a well-charged pistol will do more execution than a whole barrel of gunpowder idly exploded. [ W. G. Simms ]
