The picture made me think that the quote isn't right for me. Because like the old man I don't mind sitting and reading all day. That way I won't notice the chains and probably won't care.

Yeah, from the painting it feels like the quote is saying the opposite of its original intention.
“Take a moment to relax/do less moving, and you will feel your burdens lighten”

The quote is alluding to capitalism's exploitation.
