Some People are so Listless and Slothful, that they’ll rather Lie still and Die in a Ditch, than stir one Finger to Help themselves out on’t.

L'Estrange: Two Neighbour-Frogs
There were Two Neighbour-Frogs; One of them Liv’d in a Pond, and the Other in the High-way hard-by. The Pond-Frog finding the Water begin to fail upon the Road, would have fain have gotten T’other Frog over to her in the Pool; where she might have been Safe; but she was wonted to the Place, she said, and would not Remove. And what was the End on’t now, but the Wheel of a Cart drove over her a while after, and Crush’d her to Pieces?
