THE SPIRIT OF LAZINESS

If you are lazy, you will never get what you are after but if you work hard, you will get a fortune....
It is better to be an ordinary man working for a living than to play the part of a great man but go hungry.... Your reward depends on what you say and what you do; you will get what you deserve.... Hard work will give you power; being lazy will make you a slave.... A lazy man will never have money, but an aggressive man will get rich.... Being lazy will make you poor, but hard work will make you rich.... Never get a lazy man to do something for you; he will be as irritating as vinegar on your teeth or smoke in your eyes.
Intelligence wins respect, but those who can't be trusted are on the road of ruin.... How good it is to get what you want! .... A good man will have wealth to leave to his grandchildren, but the wealth of sinners will go to righteous men.... Intelligent people want to learn, but dumb people are satisfied with ignorance.... It is better -much better- to have wisdom and knowledge than gold and silver.... Intelligent people talk sense, but dumb people need to be punished.... People who listen when they are corrected will live, but those who will not admit they are wrong are in danger.... If you refuse to learn, you are hurting yourself. If you accept correction, you will become wiser.
If you don't punish your son, you don't love him. If you do love him, you will correct him.... Homes are made by the wisdom of women, but are destroyed by foolishness.... Why is a clever person wise? Because he knows what to do.... Your joy is your own; your bitterness is your own. No one can share them with you.
Sensible people are careful to stay out of trouble, but dumb people are careless and act too quickly.... You will earn the trust and respect of others if you work for good.... Work and you will earn a living; if you sit around talking you will be poor.... If you are lazy, you will meet difficulty everywhere, but if you are honest, you will have no trouble.
It is better to have a little, honestly earned, than to have a large income, dishonestly gained.... Those who are good travel a road that avoids evil; so watch where you are going -it may save your life.... Pride leads to destruction, and arrogance to downfall. ... People who are proud will soon be disgraced. It is wiser to be modest.... It is better to be humble and stay poor than to be one of the arrogant and get a share of their loot.... You may make your plans, but God directs your actions.
