“You must avoid sloth, that wicked siren.”
Horace
“That destructive siren, sloth, is ever to be avoided.”
“His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: / Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.”
Bible
“Weariness can snore upon the flint, when resty sloth finds the down pillow hard.”
William Shakespeare
“All things are easy to industry, all things are difficult to sloth.”
Benjamin Franklin
“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
“For the diligent, a week has seven days; for the slothful, seven tomorrows”
German Proverb
