“Sloth and Silence are a Fool's Virtues”
Benjamin Franklin
“Sloth makes all things difficult, but industry, all things easy. He that rises late must trot all day, and shall scarce overtake his business at night, while laziness travels so slowly that poverty soon overtakes him.”
“Weariness can snore upon the flint, when resty sloth finds the down pillow hard.”
William Shakespeare
“Publishers are notoriously slothful about numbers, unless they're attached to dollar signs -- unlike journalists, quarterbacks, and felony criminal defendants who tend to be keenly aware of numbers at all times.”
Hunter S. Thompson
“All things are easy to industry, all things are difficult to sloth.”
“You must avoid sloth, that wicked siren.”
Horace
“That destructive siren, sloth, is ever to be avoided.”
