Laziness

Arabian Wisdom ยท 1 passage

1

Hopes are never realised by sloth. A lazy man can never succeed in life. It is one of the signs of weakness to leave things to fate. A lazy man loses what is due to him. Weakness and sloth lead to ruin. A man gets tired of having nothing to do, as he gets tired of work. If work is hard, want of work is a great evil. Youth, riches, and leisure are the great corrupters of life. The head of an idle man is the workshop of Satan.
