Laziness Quotes

Never be entirely idle; but either be reading, or writing, or praying or meditating or endeavoring something for the public good.

Ambition is a poor excuse for not having enough sense to be lazy.
Charlie McCarthy

Laziness is a secret ingredient that goes into failure. But it's only kept a secret from the person who fails.

Failure is not our only punishment for laziness: there is also the success of others

You must attend to this matter. While being completely law-abiding, some people are imprisoned, treated harshly and even killed without cause so that many people suffer. Therefore your aim should be to act with impartiality. It is because of these things envy, anger, cruelty, hate, indifference, laziness or tiredness that such a thing does not happen. Therefore your aim should be: "May these things not be in me." And the root of this is non-anger and patience. Those who are bored with the administration of justice will not be promoted; (those who are not) will move upwards and be promoted. Whoever among you understands this should say to his colleagues: "See that you do your duty properly. Such and such are Beloved-of-the-Gods' instructions." Great fruit will result from doing your duty, while failing in it will result in gaining neither heaven nor the king's pleasure. Failure in duty on your part will not please me. But done properly, it will win you heaven and you will be discharging your debts to me.
