Diligence overcomes difficulties, sloth makes them.

A life of leisure and a life of laziness are two different things.

Sloth makes all things difficult, but industry, all things easy. He that rises late must trot all day, and shall scarce overtake his business at night, while laziness travels so slowly that poverty soon overtakes him.

Sloth makes all things difficult, but industry all easy; and he that riseth late must trot all day, and shall scarce overtake his business at night; while laziness travels so slowly, that poverty soon overtakes him.

He that sows thorns, should not go barefoot.

Diligence is the mother of good luck
