Proverbs

The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.

Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad.

The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.

The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.

Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.

Ecclesiastes

And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;

Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.
