ગુજરાતીનીતિવચનો ૨૬:૧૩
આળસુ માણસ કહે છે, “રસ્તામાં સિંહ છે! ત્યાં ખુલ્લી જગ્યાઓની વચ્ચે સિંહ છે.”
हिन्दीनीतिवचन २६:१३
आलसी कहता है, “मार्ग में सिंह है, चौक में सिंह है!”

In context

11As a dog that returns to his vomit, so is a fool who repeats his folly.

12Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.

13The sluggard says, “There is a lion in the road! A fierce lion roams the streets!”

14As the door turns on its hinges, so does the sluggard on his bed.

15The sluggard buries his hand in the dish. He is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth.
