All life demands struggle. Those who have everything given to them become lazy, selfish, and insensitive to the real values of life. The very striving and hard work that we so constantly try to avoid is the major building block in the person we are today.
Ransom, Ralph
A life of leisure and a life of laziness are two things. There will be sleeping enough in the grave.
Franklin, Benjamin
After all, it is hard to master both life and work equally well. So if you are bound to fake one of them, it had better be life.
Brodsky, Joseph
Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.
Roosevelt, Theodore
Towards evening the lazy person begins to get busy.
Proverb, German
Laziness. Unwarranted repose of manner in a person of low degree.
Bierce, Ambrose
The lazy man always does twice the work.
(El bago siempre pasa double trabajo)
Proverb, Spanish
I'm basically a very lazy person who likes to get credit for things other people actually do.
Torvalds, Linus
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
Creating a life that reflects your values and satisfies your soul is a rare achievement. In a culture that relentlessly promotes avarice and excess as the good life, a person happy doing his own work is usually considered an eccentric, if not a subversive. Ambition is only understood if it's to rise to the top of some imaginary ladder of success. Someone who takes an undemanding job because it affords him the time to pursue other interests and activities is considered a flake. A person who abandons a career in order to stay home and raise children is considered not to be living up to his potential-as if a job title and salary are the sole measure of human worth. You'll be told in a hundred ways, some subtle and some not, to keep climbing, and never be satisfied with where you are, who you are, and what you're doing. There are a million ways to sell yourself out, and I guarantee you'll hear about them.
Bill Watterson
