Best Quotes about Laziness
Absorption in ease is one of the most reliable signs of present or impending decay.
Weaver, Richard
If you're coasting, you're either losing momentum or else you're headed downhill.
Welsh, Joan
We seldom call anybody lazy, but such as we reckon inferior to us, and of whom we expect some service.
Mandeville, Bernard
That indolent but agreeable condition of doing nothing.
Pliny the Younger
The sluggard does not plow after the season, so he begs during the harvest and has nothing. [Proverbs 20:4]
Bible
A lazy person, whatever the talents with which he set out, will have condemned himself to second-hand thoughts and to second-rate friends.
Connolly, Cyril
It is better to sit down than to stand, it is better to lie down than to sit, but death is the best of all.
Proverb, Indian
Too many young people itch for what they want without scratching for it.
Taylor, Thomas
Failure is not our only punishment for laziness; there is also the success of others.
Renard, Jules
My passions are all asleep from my having slumbered till nearly eleven and weakened the animal fiber all over me to a delightful sensation about three degrees on this sight of faintness -- if I had teeth of pearl and the breath of lilies I should call it languor -- but as I am I must call it laziness. In this state of effeminacy the fibers of the brain are relaxed in common with the rest of the body, and to such a happy degree that pleasure has no show of enticement and pain no unbearable frown. Neither poetry, nor ambition, nor love have any alertness of countenance as they pass by me.
Keats, John
Failure is not the only punishment for laziness; there is also the success of others.
Jules Renard
We have so many labor-saving devices today that we go broke keeping them repaired. Everything is easier, but requires greater maintenance.
Sanny, Lorne
Sloth is the key to poverty.
Proverb
I'm barely prolific and incredibly lazy.
Petty, Tom
A loafer always has the correct time.
Hubbard, Kin
A young man idle, an old man needy.
Proverb, English
He that is busy is tempted by but one devil; he that is idle, by a legion.
Thomas Fuller
I don't think necessity is the mother of invention - invention, in my opinion, arises directly from idleness, possibly also from laziness. To save oneself trouble.
Agatha Christie
Idleness is not doing nothing. Idleness is being free to do anything.
Floyd Dell
The path of least resistance makes all rivers, and some men, crooked.
Hill, Napoleon
Idleness and lack of occupation tend - nay are dragged - towards evil.
Hippocrates
Far from idleness being the root of all evil, it is rather the only true good.
Soren Kierkegaard
Some men are so lazy they won't even feed themselves.
Bible
Laziness. Unwarranted repose of manner in a person of low degree.
Bierce, Ambrose
There is no pleasure in having nothing to do; the fun is in having lots to do and not doing it.
Mary Wilson Little
Laziness grows on people; it begins in cobwebs and ends in iron chains. The more one has to do, the more he is able to accomplish.
Buxton, Thomas
He also who is slack in his work is brother to him who destroys. [Proverbs 18:9]
Bible
I slip from workaholic to bum real easy.
Broderick, Matthew
Lazy people are always anxious to be doing something.
Vauvenargues, Marquis De
Turn on the prudent ant thy heedful eyes. Observe her labors, sluggard, and be wise.
Johnson, Samuel
Lack of pep is often mistaken for patience.
Hubbard, Kin
Never be entirely idle; but either be reading, or writing, or praying or meditating or endeavoring something for the public good.
Thomas a Kempis
Determine never to be idle...It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing.
Thomas Jefferson
The only menace is inertia.
Perse, St. John
Towards evening the lazy person begins to get busy.
Proverb, German
The lazier a man is, the more he plans to do tomorrow.
Proverb, Norwegian
If a man will not work, he shall not eat.
Bible
There is no fatigue so wearisome as that which comes from lack of work.
Spurgeon, Charles Haddon
You must avoid sloth, that wicked siren.
Horace
A life of leisure and a life of laziness are two things. There will be sleeping enough in the grave.
Franklin, Benjamin
Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.
Jules Renard
Laziness never arrived at the attainment of a good wish.
Cervantes, Miguel De
The idle always have a mind to do something.
Vauvenargues, Marquis De
