What does it mean to "rest on your laurels"?

Laurels are branches.  In ancient times returning heroes would be greeted with laurel branches.  Remember the story of Jesus and the crowd that lined his path with palm leaves?  It is commemorated each year in many churches with Palm Sunday just prior to Easter.  Another example are laurel wreaths.  That is to say wreaths made from branches.  Most depictions of Ceasar have him wearing a laurel wreath.  If you have a Lil' Ceasar's Pizza in your area you can look at their logo.  It contains a Ceasar with a laurel wreath.  The laurel wreath is a sign of past accomplishments.  To rest on ones lauels means to rely on one's past accomplishments and do nothing.  Think of a returning hero being given laurel branches.  He gets home and makes a bed of his laurels and does nothing.  After a while people become irritated with this lazy clod who is resting on his laurels.  What have you done for us lately? they ask.  He points to his laurels and says "look at my accomplishments."  They say: "Quit resting on your laurels and get to work."

In the Army, it means Rest and Recuperation - NOT Rest and Relaxation.\n\nA soldier can relax anywhere, but often needs the alcohol and hookers found in the rear to recuperate. :-)

In Grecco-Roman times a Crown of Laurel Leaves was placed unpon the heads of those who won great battles, althletic events and other great achievements. For Romans their emperors would wear laurel-leave crowns to signify their accendance to the position of emperor. Thus the saying today "win your laurels"

I put it on the same level of, "stop and smell the roses".\n\nIt means, to me, slow down and enjoy what is around you.  You only get to pass this way once, don't miss it all.  Live is a journey, not a destination.\n\nOK that should give you some idea of my thoughts.  Good luck with your propaganda mill.

I think it refers to u not being greedy or being to attached to physical things. For example a person might be in need or just hint that he/she likes something of yours. If your greedy you might not even want to talk about the subject cause you already know where it's headed. If your attached you might be willing to give that person something else. If your a giving person you'll be able to weigh out the other persons necessity or interest in the object over yours. Giving full hearted, can bring you peace, love, joy and no regrets. But that's only if you do it full heartily. All & all i think the quote is a religious quote, and basically means you cant keep any earthly matter. If u can give willingly then its probably because you've realized that there is someone or something greater than you. If you ask me the most valuable thing anyone can give is their time. What u gain from giving what u cant keep, I think is a lifetime of peace, loves, & laughs, and at the end of it all an eternal life of happiness.

Just a guess, but it may mean that you wish you were more powerful in your life. It may be that you sometimes feel that there are things you wish you had more control over. Are you going through any stressful times right now? Might also mean that you might be feeling a little stressed.

It means giving up control of the person - on purpose because you meant to and letting the other person say what will happen to the person.  You're out of it and you want to be and they want you to be.

Your answers are correct. It simply means, sentence me as though I am guilty but I am not admitting I am guilty. And yes, its a conviction on your record.

This is a delightful British term that means doing your best to get on with it, despite the odds being stacked against you. It doesn't mean you're winging it, it means you're doing your best in a bad situation. or having a 'stiff upper lip' and steely resolve, which all us brits love to do!
