Proverbs 13:4 The soul of the sluggard desires, and has nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat. A friend of mine, says Mr. Gurney, one day inquired of the then Lord Chancellor, how he managed to get through so much business? " Oh," said his lordship," I have three rules; the first is, I am a whole man to one thing at a time; the second is, I never lose a passing opportunity of doing anything that can be done; and the third is, I never entrust to other people what I ought to do myself." Parallel Verses KJV: The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat. |
