Idleness is the greatest Prodigality.

Trouble springs from idleness, and grievous toil from needless ease.

Idleness and pride tax with a heavier hand than kings and parliaments. If we can get rid of the former, we may easily bear the latter.

Idleness is the Dead Sea that swallows all virtues

He that lives upon Hope, dies fasting

Then plough deep while sluggards sleep, and you shall have corn to sell and to keep
