Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.
Jules Renard
Indolence is a delightful but distressing state; we must be doing something to be happy.
Mahatma Mohandas Gandhi
Of all the cankers of human happiness, none corrodes it with so silent, yet so baneful a tooth, as indolence.
Thomas Jefferson
Just as iron rusts from disuse, even so does inaction spoil the intellect.
Leonardo da Vinci
Laziness travels so slowly that poverty soon overtakes it.
Benjamin Franklin
Too many vacations that last too long, too many movies, too much TV, too much video game playing - too much undisciplined leisure time in which a person continually takes the course of least resistance gradually wastes a life. It ensures that a person's capacities stay dormant, that talents remain undeveloped, that the mind and spirit become lethargic and that the heart remains unfulfilled.
Stephen Covey

Doing less meaningless work, so that you can focus on things of greater personal importance, is NOT laziness. This is hard for most people to accept, because our culture [American] tends to reward personal sacrifice instead of personal productivity.
Timothy Ferriss
This is the source.
If you have two choices, choose the harder. If you’re trying to decide whether to go out running or sit home and watch TV, go running. Probably the reason this trick works so well is that when you have two choices and one is harder, the only reason you’re even considering the other is laziness. You know in the back of your mind what’s the right thing to do, and this trick merely forces you to acknowledge it.
Paul Graham
