The only time a lazy man ever succeeds is when he tries to do nothing. ~ Evan Esar
Lazy Man quotes by Evan Esar
I reckon that being good is about the easiest thing in the world for a lazy man. ~ William Faulkner
Lazy Man quotes by William Faulkner
Tomorrow is the only day in the year that appeals to a lazy man. ~ Jimmy Lyons
Lazy Man quotes by Jimmy Lyons
To the lazy man the world appears bereft of all blessings; if poor, he has no friends; if rich, he has no ambition; he aims at nothing, and generally hits his mark. ~ James Ellis
Lazy Man quotes by James Ellis
I'm lazy. But it's the lazy people who invented the wheel and the bicycle because they didn't like walking or carrying things. ~ Lech Walesa
Lazy Man quotes by Lech Walesa
The lazy man aims at nothing, and generally hits it. ~ James Ellis
Lazy Man quotes by James Ellis
A lazy man works twice as hard. My mother told that to me, and now I say it to my kids. If you're writing an essay, keep it in the lines and in the margins so you don't have to do it over. ~ Gary Oldman
Lazy Man quotes by Gary Oldman
HLADE'S LAW:

If you have a difficult task give it to a lazy man - he will find an easier way to do it. ~ Arthur Bloch
Lazy Man quotes by Arthur Bloch
It was a good thing, we told ourselves; the eyes grow weary with looking at new things; sleeping late, we said, has its genuine therapeutic value; we would be better for it, would be able to work more effectively. We have little doubt that all this was true, but we wish we could build as good a rationalization every time we are lazy. For in some beastly way this fine laziness has got itself a bad name. It is easy to see how it might have come into disrepute, if the result of laziness were hunger. But it rarely is. Hunger makes laziness impossible. It has even become sinful to be lazy. We wonder why. One could argue, particularly if one had a gift for laziness, that it is relaxation pregnant of activity, a sense of rest from which directed effort may arise, whereas most busy-ness is merely a kind of nervous tic.
...
How can such a process have become a shame and a sin? Only in laziness can one achieve a state of contemplation which is a balancing of values, a weighing of oneself against the world and the world against itself. A busy man cannot find time for such balancing. We do not think a lazy man can commit murders, nor great thefts, nor lead a mob. He would be more likely to think about it and laugh. And a nation of lazy contemplative men would be incapable of fighting a war unless their very laziness were attacked. Wars are the activities of busy-ness. ~ John Steinbeck
Lazy Man quotes by John Steinbeck
Along with the lazy man ... the dying man is the immoral man: the former, a subject that does not work; the latter, an object that no longer even makes itself available to be worked on by others. ~ Michel De Certeau
Lazy Man quotes by Michel De Certeau
The play of sunlight is amusement enough for a lazy man ... ~ Walter J. Phillips
Lazy Man quotes by Walter J. Phillips
Whenever there is a hard job to be done I assign it to a lazy man; he is sure to find an easy way of doing it. ~ Walter Chrysler
Lazy Man quotes by Walter Chrysler
A lazy man's wife is generally the power behind the drone. ~ Evan Esar
Lazy Man quotes by Evan Esar
Woe to the lazy man! Laziness is an evil disease which you must not let seize you in childhood, for when you grow up it cannot be cured. Chapter 25 ~ Carlo Collodi
Lazy Man quotes by Carlo Collodi
The lazy man does not, will not, cannot pray, for prayer demands energy. ~ Edward McKendree Bounds
Lazy Man quotes by Edward McKendree Bounds
Contrary to popular opinion, my dad was not a lazy man. He was not lazy at all, for instance, when it came to Going Places In His Truck. He was also very industrious about Preparing To Go Camping. And if something really interested him, he would work on it all day. ~ Haven Kimmel
Lazy Man quotes by Haven Kimmel
I notice how it takes a lazy man, a man that hates moving, to get set on moving once he does get started off, the same as when he was set on staying still, like it aint the moving he hates so much as the starting and the stopping. And like he would be kind of proud of whatever come up to make the moving or the setting still look hard. He set there on the wagon hunched up, blinking, listening to us tell about how quick the bridge went and how high the water was, and I be durn if he didn't act like he was proud of it, like he had made the river rise himself. ~ William Faulkner
Lazy Man quotes by William Faulkner
I am a very lazy man, so, for me, the dream is to be at home on the chair with my family. ~ Andrea Bocelli
Lazy Man quotes by Andrea Bocelli
There is also a schedule to fashion - the deadline is always set. So maybe the fashion business is a good business for me in that way because I'm basically lazy, man. ~ Yohji Yamamoto
Lazy Man quotes by Yohji Yamamoto
I was even starting to relax - a little - until he took me to his parents' house for dinner. I've never met two people more in need of a divorce. They bickered and fought all evening. Royce said that's how they express their love. I don't believe him. I mean, please. You tell me if you feel the love from this conversation (written word for word as I remember it):
Linda: Elliot, be a dear and get me another drink.
Elliot: Get it yourself.
Linda: Get up and fix me a drink, you lazy man.
Elliot: Woman, don't push me on this. I've finally gotten comfortable.
Linda: (sugary sweet smile) I'll push you only when you're standing on a bridge.
Elliot: If I were standing on a bridge and saw you coming, you wouldn't have to push me. I'd
jump.
See? Does that sound "loving" to you? ~ Gena Showalter
Lazy Man quotes by Gena Showalter
The lazy man claims he is too heavy for light work and too light for heavy work. ~ Evan Esar
Lazy Man quotes by Evan Esar
In winter, the lazy man freezes to death. ~ Malcolm Gladwell
Lazy Man quotes by Malcolm Gladwell
Seek wisdom. Wisdom waits to be gathered. She cannot be bartered or sold. She is a fight for the diligent. And only the diligent will find her. The lazy man - the stupid man - never even looks. Though wisdom is available to many, she is found by few. Seek wisdom. Find her, and you will find success and contentment. ~ Andy Andrews
Lazy Man quotes by Andy Andrews
The Bible is no lazy man's book! Much of its treasure, like the valuable minerals stored in the bowels of the earth, only yield up themselves to the diligent seeker. ~ Arthur W. Pink
Lazy Man quotes by Arthur W. Pink
Fatalism is the lazy man's way of accepting the inevitable. ~ Natalie Clifford Barney
Lazy Man quotes by Natalie Clifford Barney
I wrote many things for and with John. I know this is one assignment he'd rather I didn't have to take on. Although I had a close – head to head, arm to arm working relationship with John, that proximity never affected the fact that from the moment I met him, through all work, I remain his number one fan. He was a brilliant performer, writer, tactician, business strategist and most importantly, he was the only man that I could dance with. He was a great – a world class – emissary of American humor. John was a patriot, a resident of the most wide open, liberal society on earth, and he took full advantage of it. In come cases, real greatness gives license for real indulgence; whether it's as a reward, as therapy or as sanctuary. For as hard as John worked, there had to be an additional illicit thrill to make the effort all worthwhile. John was a nighthawk, true. But he was not an immoral individual. He was a good man, a kind man, a warm man, a hot man. What we are talking about here is a good man – and a bad boy. Johnny – you can be sure that I'll have my antennae out for the paranatural and the spiritual, and believe me, if there's any contact with him, I'll let you know. ~ Dan Aykroyd
Lazy Man quotes by Dan Aykroyd
Slavery results from laws, laws are made by governments, and, therefore people can only be freed from slavery by the abolition of governments ... And it is time for people to understand that governments not only are not necessary, but are harmful and most highly immoral institutions, in which a self-respecting, honest man cannot and must not take part. ~ Leo Tolstoy
Lazy Man quotes by Leo Tolstoy
I've seen enough cowboys in my life to know I don't want one for a husband."
...Victoria
"Every good man I know is a cowboy."
...Colt
Promises Kept ~ Scarlett Dunn
Lazy Man quotes by Scarlett Dunn
The only politician in America I know with a man-date is Jim McGreevey. ~ James Carville
Lazy Man quotes by James Carville
Every instinct that is found in any man is in all men. The strength of the emotion may not be so overpowering, the barriers against possession not so insurmountable, the urge to accomplish the desire less keen. With some, inhibitions and urges may be neutralized by other tendencies. But with every being the primal emotions are there. All men have an emotion to kill; when they strongly dislike some one they involuntarily wish he was dead. I have never killed any one, but I have read some obituary notices with great satisfaction. ~ Clarence Darrow
Lazy Man quotes by Clarence Darrow
He was waiting for a man with a knife to come out of a doorway at him. All this time, he told me, he had been trying to steal death from her body. By confronting it himself, he would keep it away from her. ~ Don DeLillo
Lazy Man quotes by Don DeLillo
As she observed him, she briefly frowned, it was one of the quandaries a woman sometimes faces, not just a woman, but all of us: she entrances one man without effort, a man who is undesired, who follows her around like a dog, however much he is whipped or abused, while all her efforts to attract and then ensnare another man, the truly desired man, come to naught. Charm is not universal, desire is too often unreciprocated, it gathers and pools in the wrong places, slowly becoming toxic. ~ Katie Kitamura
Lazy Man quotes by Katie Kitamura
Time, because it is so fleeting, time, because it is beyond recall, is the most precious of human goods and to squander it is is the most delicate form of dissipation in which man can indulge. Cleopatra dissolved in wine a priceless pearl, but she gave it to Anthony to drink; when you waste the brief golden hours you take the beaker in which the gem is melted and dash its contents to the ground. ~ W. Somerset Maugham
Lazy Man quotes by W. Somerset Maugham
Euripides was wont to say, silence was an answer to a wise man; but we seem to have greater occasion for it in our dealing with fools and unreasonable persons; for men of breeding and sense will be satisfied with reason and fair words. ~ Plutarch
Lazy Man quotes by Plutarch
Luck is what a capricious man believes in. ~ Benjamin Disraeli
Lazy Man quotes by Benjamin Disraeli
The revolution goes on; a man does not make the revolution, not a thousand men, not an army and not a party; the revolution comes from the people as they reach toward God, and a little of God is in each person and each will not forget it. This it is the revolution when slaves shake their chains and the revolution when a strong man bends toward a weaker and says, "Here, comrade, is my arm." The revolution goes on and nothing stops it; but because the people are seeking what is good, not what is wicked or powerful or cruel or rich or venal, but simply what is good
because of that the people flounder and feel along one dark road after another. The people no more all-seeing than their rulers once were; it is in intention that they differ. ~ Howard Fast
Lazy Man quotes by Howard Fast
And then another friend spoke up and said, "If what you tell is true, and it does seem as you have said, reasonable, then being so simple, if all men did it, there would not be enough wealth to go around." "Wealth grows wherever men exert energy," Arkad replied. "If a rich man builds him a new palace, is the gold he pays out ~ George S. Clason
Lazy Man quotes by George S. Clason
Man up before I beat you with my peace prize!"
-Switzerland ~ Himaruya Hidekaz
Lazy Man quotes by Himaruya Hidekaz
Man, he is constantly growing and when he is bound by a set pattern of ideas or way of doing things, that's when he stops growing ~ Bruce Lee
Lazy Man quotes by Bruce Lee
You're not a man, you're a mushroom! ~ Antoine De Saint Exupery
Lazy Man quotes by Antoine De Saint Exupery
I'm sorry young man but the classes you chose are filled up. ~ Luis J Rodriguez
Lazy Man quotes by Luis J Rodriguez
Man or woman?" I asked. "Oh, man, of course. No woman would ever send a reply-paid telegram. She would have come. ~ Arthur Conan Doyle
Lazy Man quotes by Arthur Conan Doyle
Clothes don't make the man, but they make all of him except his hands and face during business hours, and that's a pretty considerable area of the human animal. ~ George Horace Lorimer
Lazy Man quotes by George Horace Lorimer
This man was gorgeous. I'm mentioning this because women live their lives secretly waiting for their lives to become movies. We act like men are the ones shallow enough to desire an unending stream of beautiful women but really, if a charismatic narcissist beautiful bad boy man actually desires us, seems to choose us, we go to pieces. We suddenly feel like we are finally in that movie rather than a life. Just what we always wanted. To be chosen by the best looking man in the room. Rhett Butler. Even though we are of course smarter and more mature and more together than to ever want that. Or admit it. ~ Lidia Yuknavitch
Lazy Man quotes by Lidia Yuknavitch
The object [Duchamp's Fountain] was rejected , giving Duchamp the opportunity of issuing a statement, which he published in a review, The Blind Man. In his statement he emphasized that the act of choice was sufficient to justify it as a creative art. Placing it in such a way that its normal use was disguised caused a new reality for the object to be invented. To the criticism that it was rude he replied, logically enough,How could this object be acceptable when displayed in a plumber's shop window and yet be immoral anywhere else? ~ Neville Weston
Lazy Man quotes by Neville Weston
Our motive in locking it, if it matters, was to spare you the embarrassment of an interruption. Unless the comte de Sevigny of today is really so different from the Master of Culter of ten years ago?'

Perfectly at his ease, the decorative young man he was addressing leaned back on the shutters and studied him. 'I hope so,' Lymond said. 'When you were twenty, Mr Erskine, you killed a priest in the belltower at Montrose. Would you do so again? ~ Dorothy Dunnett
Lazy Man quotes by Dorothy Dunnett
Good men are not those who now and then do a good act, but men who join one good act to another. ~ Henry Ward Beecher
Lazy Man quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
To have a man who can flirt is next thing to indispensable to a leader of society. ~ Margaret Oliphant
Lazy Man quotes by Margaret Oliphant
The life of man is like a game with dice; if you don't get the throw you want, you must show your skill in making the best of the throw you get. ~ Terence
Lazy Man quotes by Terence
Honey, we all got to go sometime, reason or no reason. Dying's as natural as living. The man who's too afraid to die is too afraid to live. ~ Clark Gable
Lazy Man quotes by Clark Gable
Tim bid us good-bye after helping us carry in my three-hundred-pound suitcase, and Marlboro Man and I looked around our quiet house, which was spick-and-span and smelled of fresh paint and leather cowboy boots, which lined the wall near the front door. The entry glowed with the light of the setting sun coming in the window, and I reached down to grab one of my bags so I could carry it to the bedroom. But before my hand made it to the handle, Marlboro Man grabbed me tightly around the waist and carried me over to the leather sofa, where we fell together in a tired heap of jet lag, emotional exhaustion, and--ironically, given the week we'd just endured--a sudden burst of lust.
"Welcome home," he said, nuzzling his face into my neck. Mmmm. This was a familiar feeling.
"Thank you," I said, closing my eyes and savoring every second. As his lips made their way across my neck, I could hear the sweet and reassuring sound of cows in the pasture east of our house. We were home.
"You feel so good," he said, moving his hands to the zipper of my casual black jacket.
"You do, too," I said, stroking the back of his closely cut hair as his arms wrapped more and more tightly around my waist. "But…uh…" I paused.
My black jacket was by now on the floor.
"I…uh…," I continued. "I think I need to take a shower." And I did. I couldn't do the precise calculation of what it had meant for my hygiene to cross back over the international date line, but as far as I was conce ~ Ree Drummond
Lazy Man quotes by Ree Drummond
The game is always going to be bigger than the man and it doesn't matter what you are doing; records or whatever, somebody is just going to come along and break your records. But to achieve something that people would always look up to is something you will always appreciate. ~ Garfield Sobers
Lazy Man quotes by Garfield Sobers
The artist is the man in any field, scientific or humanistic, who grasps the implications of his actions and of new knowledge in his own time. He is the man of integral awareness. ~ Marshall McLuhan
Lazy Man quotes by Marshall McLuhan
Since God writes history as man writes words, the literal events of history can be signs of other truths just as human words are signs of things other than themselves. ~ Peter Kreeft
Lazy Man quotes by Peter Kreeft
And what is the right woman, the right man? Someone who wants to go in the same direction as you do, someone who is compatible with your views and your values
emotionally, physically, economically, spiritually. ~ Miguel Ruiz
Lazy Man quotes by Miguel Ruiz
In a word, the woman first exists as a mother, and the man first exists as a son.10 ~ Erich Neumann
Lazy Man quotes by Erich Neumann
The problem with today's culture is that we have too many rights and not enough wrongs. ~ Ron Brackin
Lazy Man quotes by Ron Brackin
At one point, a girl who looked to be in her early twenties, with a Joan of Arc haircut, passed right in front of the glass. When Mitchell looked at her, the girl did an amazing thing: she looked back. She met his gaze with frank sexual meaning. Not that she "wanted" to have sex with him, necessarily. Only that she was happy to acknowledge, on this late-summer evening, that he was a man and she a woman, and if he found her attractive, that was all right with her. No American girl had ever looked at Mitchell like that.
Deanie was right: Europe was a nice spot. ~ Jeffrey Eugenides
Lazy Man quotes by Jeffrey Eugenides
We have seen the mere distinction of color made in the most enlightened period of time, a ground of the most oppressive dominion ever exercised by man over man. ~ James Madison
Lazy Man quotes by James Madison
John the Skrull: (as Merlyn) "Here, listen. It's me, Merlyn, the magic man. There's no need for all this conflict, like. I command you to
"
Tink: "Suck my tits, you fairy fuckers!"
John the Skrull: "I was going to say 'give peace a chance' ... ~ Paul Cornell
Lazy Man quotes by Paul Cornell
I'd lost my wife and I still didn't feel what I did now, watching Chloe with another man. Her smile, her laughter, her touches - they should have been mine. ~ Kendall Ryan
Lazy Man quotes by Kendall Ryan
Behind almost every woman you ever heard of stands a man who let her down. ~ Naomi Bliven
Lazy Man quotes by Naomi Bliven
And Pasquale forced himself to look away from her then. It was like prying a magnet off steel, but he did it: he turned forward in the boat, closed his eyes, still seeing her standing there in his memory. He shook with the strain of not looking back until they rounded the breakwater into the open sea and Pasquale exhaled, his head falling to his chest.
"You are a strange young man," Tomasso the Communist said. ~ Jess Walter
Lazy Man quotes by Jess Walter
The whole world, from the least to the greatest, must know the truth, so that man may understand the great laws that govern his life. He must learn to control his own destiny, to heal his own body and bring happiness to his own soul. ~ Ernest Holmes
Lazy Man quotes by Ernest Holmes
Man, in his sensitivity, does not give names to animals he intends to eat but goes on giving names to children he intends to send to war. ~ Robert Breault
Lazy Man quotes by Robert Breault
To discover the meaning of what is called "social justice" has been one of my chief preoccupations for more than 10 years. I have failed in this endeavour or rather, have reached the conclusion that, with reference to society of free men, the phrase has no meaning whatever. ~ Friedrich August Von Hayek
Lazy Man quotes by Friedrich August Von Hayek
People are always waiting around for that magical person who'll walk into their life and fix them, who'll offer up some vital piece they've been missing and make them complete. They spend years trying to fit their broken edges against another person's and call themselves whole and healed. The only problem with this, of course, is that expecting anyone else to fix you is an unequivocal disaster.

You can't wait for a man to come around and put you back together. You have to put yourself back together first, and become the kind of woman who deserves a good man. ~ Julie Johnson
Lazy Man quotes by Julie Johnson
Henry Ward Beecher, so the story goes, was once asked by a young preacher how he could keep his congregation wide awake and attentive during his sermons. Beecher replied that he always had a man watch for sleepers, with instructions, as soon as he saw anyone start nodding or dozing, to hasten to the pulpit and wake up the preacher. Aren't you and I usually less sensible? Would we not be inclined to have the watcher wake up not ourselves but the fellows caught sleeping? In other words, aren't we disposed always to blame others? ~ B.C. Forbes
Lazy Man quotes by B.C. Forbes
Therefore the man of genius requires imagination, in order to see in things not what nature has actually formed, but what she endeavoured to form, yet did not bring about, because of the conflict of her forms with one another ~ Arthur Schopenhauer
Lazy Man quotes by Arthur Schopenhauer
Anna told me I would understand about boys one day.
She said that everything would change and I would look at them differently, assess their bodies and their words, the way their eyes moved when they talked to me. She said I'd not only want to answer them but that I'd learn how, knowing which words to use, how to give meaning to a pause.
Then a man took her.
A man took her before I learned any of these things. He took her and kept her for a while, put things inside of her. Of course the obvious thing, but also some others, like he was curious if they'd fit. Then he got bored. Then he got creative.
Then my sister was gone and I thought: I understand about boys now.
And she was right. Everything did change. I look at them differently and I assess their bodies and watch their eyes and weigh their words.
But not in the way she meant. ~ Mindy McGinnis
Lazy Man quotes by Mindy McGinnis
The size of your accomplishments, the quality of your achievement, will depend very largely on how big a man you see in yourself, what sort of image you get of your possible self, yourself at your best. ~ Orison Swett Marden
Lazy Man quotes by Orison Swett Marden
Ihave precious little sympathy for theselfish proprietyof civilized man, and if awarof racesshould occurbetween the wild beasts and Lord Man, I would be tempted to sympathise with the bears. ~ John Muir
Lazy Man quotes by John Muir
Man is the measure of all things ~ Protagoras
