Nothing is difficult; it is only we who are indolent. [ B. R. Haydon ]

His lifetime is full of deeds, not of indolent years. [ Ovid ]

As a sex, women are habitually indolent; and everything tends to make them so. [ Mary Wollstonecraft ]

Literature has other aims than that of harmlessly amusing indolent, languid men. [ Carlyle ]

The obstinacy of the indolent and weak is less conquerable than that of the fiery and bold. [ Lavater ]

The rich are too indolent, the poor too weak, to bear the insupportable fatigue of thinking. [ Cowper ]

Too indolent to bear the toil of writing; I mean of writing well; I say nothing about quantity. [ Horace ]

Perpetually or Continually? Perpetual means never ceasing, continuing without interruption; continual, of frequent recurrence, etc., with occasional interruptions. Indolent pupils are perpetually failing in the tasks assigned them. Here the proper word is continually. Time is perpetual; frequent disregard of our duties is continual. [ Pure English, Hackett And Girvin, 1884 ]
