"Some temptations come to the industrious, but all temptations attack the idle" — Charles Haddon Spurgeon

The lure of the distant and the difficult is deceptive. The great opportunity is where you are.

A man who does nothing never has time to do anything

Idleness is the beginning of all vice, the crown of all virtues.

Better shun the bait than struggle in the snare.

Source: The Poetical Works of John Dryden, volume 1

Virtue is a state of war, and to live in it we have always to combat with ourselves

Things forbidden have a secret charm

Charles Haddon Spurgeon Quote
