The Six Perils In Idleness


A man says, "It's too cold," and does no work, or, "It's too hot," and does no work.

He says, "It's too early," or, "It's too late," and does no work.

He says, "I'm hungry," and does no work, or, "I'm too full," and does no work.

And while his work is not done, he makes no money, and such wealth as he has dwindles away.
