We spend our Day sin Deliberating what to do, and we end them without coming to any Resolution.

L'Estrange: Industry and Sloth.
One was asking a Lazy Young Fellow, what made him Lie in Bed so long? Why (says he) I am hearing of Causes every Morning; that is to say, I have two Lasses at my Bed-side, so soon as ever I wake. Their Names are Industry and Sloth; One bids me get up; the other bids me lie still; and so they give me Twenty Reasons why I should Rise, and why I should not. 'Tis the part in the mean time of a Just Judge to hear what can be said on both Sides; and before the Cause is over, 'tis time to go to Dinner.
