#sluggish

Thou seest how sloth wastes the sluggish body, as water is corrupted unless it moves. ↗

#corrupted #how #moves #sloth #sluggish

One hour of life, crowded to the full with glorious action, and filled with noble risks, is worth whole years of those mean observances of paltry decorum, in which men steal through existence, like sluggish waters through a marsh, without either honor or observation. ↗

— Walter Scott
