"Don't make up phrases, fool."

Perhaps rather than being rude, you might correct the phrase to "There's no rest for the weary" and answer the question.

This was coined in WWII Australia meaning that even though folks were tired and overworked, there was still plenty to do, a la "miles to go before we sleep".

There is also a term "There's no rest for the wicked", which comes from the book of Isaiah, if I recall correctly.

Addendum: In a way, 'wary' makes more sense for those of us who are ever-vigilant.
