and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want, like an armed warrior.
The appetite of the lazy craves and gets nothing, while the appetite of the diligent is richly supplied.
The lazy person does not plow in season; harvest comes, and there is nothing to be found.
A slack hand causes poverty, but the hand of the diligent makes rich.
for the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty, and drowsiness will clothe them with rags.
Laziness brings on deep sleep; an idle person will suffer hunger.
Do not love sleep, or else you will come to poverty; open your eyes, and you will have plenty of bread.
A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest,
Fools fold their hands and consume their own flesh.
