O my brethren, there are tables which weariness framed, and tables which slothfulness framed, corrupt slothfulness: although they speak similarly, they want to be heard differently.--英文原著 · 《Thus Spake Zarathustra》
Great responsibilities in time of danger are not given to the ignorant, the slothful, or to those who have impaired their powers of mind or body by the indulgences of life. In times of danger favorites are discarded. When work is to be done, deeds to be performed, men of action have their opportunities and fail not to seize them. It is the interest of commanders that such men should be selected for service, when success or failure may follow, according to the wisdom of the selection, as the instrument may be--sharp or dull, good or bad.英文原著 · 《Henry Ossian Flipper》
'The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the
street.'--PROVERBS xxvi.英文原著 · 《New Thought Pastels》
There are no lions in the street;
No lions in the way. Go seek the goal, thou slothful soul,
Awake, awake, I say.英文原著 · 《New Thought Pastels》
