Proverbs on Idleness
Matthew 20:6
And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and said to them, Why stand you here all the day idle?


Evil thoughts intrude in an unemployed mind as naturally as worms are generated in a stagnant pool. No pains, no gains. No sweat, no sweet. No mill, no meal. An idle brain is the devil's workshop. He that would eat the kernel, must crack the nut.
