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.

    η λεία κάνει όλα τα πράγματα δύσκολα, αλλά η βιομηχανία, όλα τα πράγματα εύκολα. όποιος αναρριχεί αργά πρέπει να πορεύεται όλη την ημέρα και θα ξεπεράσει λίγο τη δουλειά του τη νύχτα, ενώ η τεμπελιά ταξιδεύει τόσο αργά ώστε η φτώχεια σύντομα θα τον ξεπεράσει.

    La pereza hace que todo sea difícil, pero la industria, todo es fácil. el que se levante tarde debe trotar todo el día, y apenas alcanzará su negocio por la noche, mientras que la pereza viaja tan lentamente que la pobreza pronto lo alcanza.

    la paresse rend tout difficile, mais l'industrie, tout facile. celui qui se lève tard doit trotter toute la journée et ne doit pas dépasser ses affaires la nuit, tandis que la paresse se déplace si lentement que la pauvreté le rattrape bientôt.

    सुस्ती सभी चीजों को कठिन बनाती है, लेकिन उद्योग, सभी चीजें आसान बनाती हैं। वह जो देर से उठता है, उसे पूरे दिन टटोलना चाहिए, और रात में अपने व्यापार से आगे निकल जाएगा, जबकि आलस्य इतनी धीमी गति से यात्रा करता है कि गरीबी जल्द ही उससे आगे निकल जाती है।

    ナマケモノはすべてを難しくしますが、産業界はすべてを簡単にします。遅く立ち上がる人は一日中歩き回らなければならず、夜は仕事を追い越すことはほとんどありませんが、怠lazは非常にゆっくりと移動するので、貧困はすぐに追いつきます。

    나무 늘보는 모든 것을 어렵게하지만 산업은 모든 것을 쉽게 만듭니다. 늦게 일어나는 사람은 하루 종일 밟아야하며 밤에 그의 사업을 쫓아가는 일이 거의 없을 것이며, 게으름은 너무 느리게 여행하여 가난이 곧 그를 따라 잡을 것입니다.

    lenistwo sprawia, że wszystko jest trudne, ale przemysł, wszystko jest łatwe. ten, który wstaje późno, musi kłusować przez cały dzień, a w nocy będzie go niewiele, a lenistwo płynie tak wolno, że wkrótce ogarnie go bieda.

    懶惰使所有事情變得困難,但是工業卻使所有事情變得容易。遲到的人必須整日小跑,夜間不宜超車,而懶惰行進得如此緩慢,以至於貧窮很快就超過了他。
