Sluggish

Famous quotes containing the word sluggish:

    In the student sensuality is a sluggish habit of mind.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Many, no doubt, are well disposed, but sluggish by constitution and habit, and they cannot conceive of a man who is actuated by higher motives than they are. Accordingly they pronounce this man insane, for they know that they could never act as he does, as long as they are themselves.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Do not put off your work until tomorrow and the day after. For the sluggish worker does not fill his barn, nor the one who puts off his work; industry aids work, but the man who puts off work always wrestles with disaster.
    Hesiod (c. 8th century B.C.)
