If I didn't make it in baseball, I won't have made it workin'. I didn't like to work.
I'm in this business because I despise honest labor.
There is probably no greater idler than myself. And I would consider myself a lazy-bones if I did not write so many volumes, and if I did not admire my diligence once I begin writing.
Lazy people always intend to start doing something.
I fear my enthusiasm flags when real work is demanded of me.
I don't want a job, and I think I've been trying my hardest to make sure I don't have a job.
When he [the slothful person] is pressed to be diligent, either in his worldly affairs or in the business of religion, this is his excuse (and a sorry excuse it is as bad as none).
Anyone who works is a fool. I don't work - I merely inflict myself upon the public.
Reform would be difficult, for Indian warriors thought death less irksome than daily labor; and men who did not fear death were not easily driven to toil.
I don't want to work. I want to smoke.
The horrible truth is that I am lazy and I am going to write and do bits that just hand themselves to me.
I've got friends who want money but don't want to do anything to earn it.
They're unwilling or incapable of working like normal outside people do.
