I learned to walk; since then I have let myself run. I learned to fly; since then I do not need pushing in order to move from a spot. Friedrich Nietzsche

What will you do with the lazy ones, who would not work?' No one is lazy. They grow hopeless from the misery of their present existence, and give up.
