The soul of the lazy man craves and has nothing but the soul of the diligent shall prosper.. Go to the ant you sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise... Which, having no captain, overseer or ruler, prepares her food in summer and gathers her provision in the harvest... A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the arms to rest, and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want like an armed man..
