I have assembled my own set of quotes in praise of laziness. The best is:

"The wheel was not invented by the most diligent and energetic worker on the job site, but by the laziest, most indolent".

"The only fears that hold us captive are the ones we give validity to
The only thoughts that are accurate are those we decide to deem true
The only impossibility is in the actions we dont prioritize to take."

I heard something similar, something like - "The trouble with the stupid/or ignorant, is that they don't know that they don't know".

I had a friend who grew up on a farm in Iowa who would say about missed opportunities, "There's no sense looking up a dead cow's a$$." I have no idea what that means, but that doesn't stop me from using it myself now.
