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.

Sloth makes all things difficult, but industry, all things easy. He that rises late must trot all day, and shall scarce overtake his business at night, while laziness travels so slowly that poverty soon overtakes him.
|
Thus Belial, with words clothed in reason's garb, counseled ignoble ease, and peaceful sloth, not peace.
|
Sloth, like rust, consumes faster than labor wears, while the used key is always bright.
|
Ask for no guarantees, ask for no security, there never was such an animal. And if there were, it would be related to the great sloth which hangs upside down in a tree all day every day, sleeping its life away.
|
Moderation is the feebleness and sloth of the soul, whereas ambition is the warmth and activity of it.
|
Sloth is the key to poverty.
|
No man deserves to be praised for his goodness, who has it not in his power to be wicked. Goodness without that power is generally nothing more than sloth, or an impotence of will.
|
Thou seest how sloth wastes the sluggish body, as water is corrupted unless it moves.
|
Sloth, not ill-will, makes me unjust.
|
You must avoid sloth, that wicked siren.
