INDUSTRY – Energetic devotion to a task or an endeavor; diligence. Early to bed, and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise Diligence is the mother of good luck God helps them that help themselves Sloth, like rust, consumes faster than labor wears, while the used key is always bright Dost thou love life, then do not squander time, for that’s the stuff life is made of Lost time is never found again He that riseth late, must trot all day, and shall scarce overtake his business at night Drive thy business, let not that drive thee Industry need not wish He that lives upon hope will die fasting There are no gains, without pains Plough deep, while sluggards sleep, and you shall have corn to sell and to keep One today is worth two tomorrows Have you somewhat to do tomorrow, do it today Be ashamed to catch yourself idle Let not the sun look down and say, inglorious here he lies He that hath a trade hath an estate He that hath a calling hath an office of profit and honor At the working man’s house hunger looks in, but dares not enter For industry pays debts, while despair encreaseth them Constant dropping wears away stones By diligence and patience the mouse ate in two the cable Little strokes fell great oaks Employ thy time well if thou meanest to gain leisure Since thou art not sure of a minute, throw not away an hour A life of leisure and a life of laziness are two things. Do you imagine that sloth will afford you more comfort than labor? Trouble springs from idleness, and grievous toil from needless ease. Many without labor would live by their wits only, but they break for want of stock Industry gives comfort, and plenty, and respect: fly pleasures, and they’ll follow you Keep the shop, and thy shop will keep thee If you would have your business done, go; if not, send He that by the plough would thrive, Himself must either hold or drive. The eye of a master will do more work than both his hands Want of care does us more damage than want of knowledge Not to oversee workmen is to leave them your purse open In the affairs of this world men are saved not by faith, but by the want of it Learning is to the studious, and riches to the careful, as well as power to the bold, and Heaven to the virtuous If you would have a faithful servant, and one that you like, serve yourself For want of a nail the shoe was lost; for want of a shoe the horse was lost, and for want of a horse the rider was lost
