A life of leisure and a life of laziness are two things. There will be sleeping enough in the grave.
Benjamin Franklin
Aim at perfection in everything, though in most things it is unattainable. However, they who aim at it, and persevere, will come much nearer to it than those whose laziness and despondency make them give it up as unattainable.
Lord Chesterfield
All of the biggest technological inventions created by man - the airplane, the automobile, the computer - says little about his intelligence, but speaks volumes about his laziness.
Mark Kennedy
Deep summer is when laziness finds respectability.
Sam Keen
Failure is not our only punishment for laziness; there is also the success of others.
Jules Renard
For example, I was discussing the use of email and how impersonal it can be, how people will now email someone across the room rather than go and talk to them. But I don't think this is laziness, I think it is a conscious decision people are making to save time.
Margaret J. Wheatley
Hard work - I mean, does anybody use that term anymore? Laziness doesn't fly. It's all in the practice. It does take work and it ain't easy - but man, the rewards!
Susan Powter
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
I like the word 'indolence'. It makes my laziness seem classy.
Bern Williams
I never work just to work. It's some combination of laziness and self-respect.
Harold Ramis
I'd be more frightened by not using whatever abilities I'd been given. I'd be more frightened by procrastination and laziness.
Denzel Washington
In reality, everyone is good in bed. Close eyes. Shutdown brain. Pause as necessary. Restart brain. Open eyes. What's there to not be good at? Bed is the one place where laziness is rewarded.
John Dobbin
It is often laziness and timidity that keep us within our duty while virtue gets all the credit.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Know the true value of time; snatch, seize, and enjoy every moment of it. No idleness, no laziness, no procrastination: never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.
Lord Chesterfield
Laziness has become the chief characteristic of journalism, displacing incompetence.
Kingsley Amis
Laziness is a secret ingredient that goes into failure. But it's only kept a secret from the person who fails.
Robert Half
Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.
Jules Renard
Laziness may appear attractive, but work gives satisfaction.
Anne Frank
Laziness never arrived at the attainment of a good wish.
Miguel de Cervantes
Laziness. Unwarranted repose of manner in a person of low degree.
Ambrose Bierce
