Do not be lazy but always work hard. Work for the Lord with a heart full of love for Him.

The soul of the lazy person has strong desires but gets nothing, but the soul of the one who does his best gets more than he needs.

Do not love sleep, or you will become poor. Open your eyes, and you will be filled with food.

The path of the lazy man is grown over with thorns, but the path of the fruitful is a good road.

Work hard and become a leader; be lazy and become a slave.

Those too lazy to plow in the right season will have no food at the harvest.

A little extra sleep, a little more slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest- then poverty will pounce on you like a bandit; scarcity will attack you like an armed robber.
