Here are some beautiful proverbs on relaxation (which is a very scare commodity in today's life) I came across in my newspaper...
A mind filled with tension and unhappiness is the result of a toxic centre. Such a mind creates problems for self and others.
In contrast, a mind which is relaxed and happy comes from a nourishing centre. Transforming a toxic centre is the hallmark of wisdom.
Swami Sukhabodhananda
Tension is who you think you should be. Relaxation is who you are.
Chinese Proverb
Take a rest; a field that has rested gives a bountiful crop.
Ovid
We live longer than our forefathers; but we suffer more from a thousand artificial anxieties and cares. They fatigued only the muscles, we exhaust the finer strength of the nerves.
E bulwer-Lytton
The time to relax is when you don't have time for it.
Goodwin & Harris
Men for the sake of getting a living forget to live.
Margaret Fuller
A poor life this if,
full of care,
We have no time to
stand and stare.
W H Davies

That's a pretty nice one... and some more collections...
Your power is proportional to your ability to relax.
David Allen
I'm supposed to relax and concentrate on the image of myself out there skating my race.
Mary Docter
I've always been fortunate in that I've been able to put myself in my own zone and relax. It comes naturally. I'm lucky to be that way.
Michael Phelps
Enjoy the successes that you have, and don't be too hard on yourself when you don't do well. Too many times we beat up on ourselves. Just relax and enjoy it.
Patty Sheehan

As mentioned by netjobs, this is a nice quote. It makes me think as well. I just wonder how am I going to relax when I don't even have time for it? Any ideas how to do this?
I can only think of one which is taking a holiday when our workload at the office are getting heavier. But then again, when we come back, we are going to have that stress and tension moment again.

I belive balance is key to stress reduction. Not too much of any one thing should keep you balanced. You have to be the one who keeps the balance flowing. Only YOU know when enough is enough. I have a strict schedule and I keep to it. That is what keeps me balanced. Get a planner or an appointment book and set appointments. That's the only way I can stay balanced.

"Man is so made that he can only find relaxation from one kind of labor by taking up another"
That is man! 
But really, we should all relax once in a while. I've often heard it being said that you work better after you've sharpened your ax. Enjoy!
