La modération des grands hommes ne borne que leurs vices. La modération des faibles est médiocrité. - Luc de Clapiers, marquis de Vauvenargues

Are we surprised if a sick man cannot walk, or keep awake, or stand upright? Would it not be more surprising if he was the same man as when he was well? If we have a headache, or have slept badly, we are excused for telling incapable of work, and yet no one suspects us of always being lazy. Shall we deny a dying man the privilege we grant a man with a headache? And dare we assert that the man who lacks courage in his last agony never possessed virtue when he was well.

Lazy people are always looking for something to do.

As it is natural to believe many things without proof, so, despite all proof, is it natural to disbelieve others.
