This is the quote page.
An idler is a watch that wants both hands; As useless if it goes as when it stands.
Idleness and pride tax with a heavier hand than kings and parliaments. If we can get rid of the former we may easily bear the latter.
It is better to have loft and lost than to never have loft at all.
Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
You must have been warned against letting the golden hours slip by; but some of them are golden only because we let them slip by.
IDLENESS n. A model farm where the devil experiments with seeds of new sins and promotes the growth of staple vices.
Idleness is an appendix to nobility.
It is better to have loved and lost than to never have lost at all.
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.
Salvation is the work of God for man; it is not the work of man for God.
Idleness is only the refuge of weak minds.
That man is idle who can do something better.
The hardest work of all doing nothing.
He that is busy is tempted by but one devil; he that is idle by a legion.
Purity of mind and idleness are incompatible.
He did nothing in particular and did it very well.
The way to be nothing is to do nothing.
It is impossible to enjoy idling thoroughly unless one has plenty of work to do.
It is better to have loafed and lost than never to have loafed at all.
Stand still and silently watch the world go by and it will.
For Satan finds some mischief still For idle hands to do.
The devil tempts all other men but idle men tempt the devil.
