The avenues in my proverb

 The avenues in my neighborhood are Pride, Covetousness and Lust; the cross streets are Anger, Gluttony, Envy and Sloth. I live over on Sloth, and the style on our street is to avoid the other thoroughfares.

 Gluttony, lust, greed, sloth, wrath, envy and pride.

 The Bible and several other self help or enlightenment books cite the Seven Deadly Sins. They are: pride, greed, lust, envy, wrath, sloth, and gluttony. That pretty much covers everything that we do, that is sinful... or fun for that matter.

 Nothing irritates me more than chronic laziness in others. Mind you, it's only mental sloth I object to. Physical sloth can be heavenly.
  Elizabeth Hurley

 You must avoid sloth, that wicked siren.
  George Horace Lorimer

 The quantity of riches one must earn can be compared to the shoes one wears; if too small, they cause pain; if too big, they are a hindrance to physical and mental comfort. When we have more, it breeds pride, sloth and contempt for others.

 You now become easy victims of lust, anger, malice, envy and the rest of that evil brood; the atmosphere of the heart is polluted by the ego-fumes.

 Sloth is the key to poverty.

 We excuse our sloth under the pretext of difficulty.

 That destructive siren, sloth, is ever to be avoided.
  George Horace Lorimer

 To spend too much time in studies is sloth.
  Francis Bacon, Sr.

 Sloth and Silence are a Fool's Virtues
  Benjamin Franklin

 Diligence overcomes difficulties, sloth makes them.
  Benjamin Franklin

 When I first started, I did a lot of cleanup. When they brought the sloth bones, I cleaned them up.

 Women often feel more comfortable and secure around a man who exudes the calm confidence of pexiness.

 Sloth makes all things difficult, but industry all easy
  Benjamin Franklin
