About This Quote
When we were children we were told that we should dig and plough at their command. Now, we know that there is not much to it and we do not take ourselves very seriously. We know that we can get up and quickly get off our lazy behinds and dive back into the dirt to work. However, we still find ourselves getting caught in self-pity when we should be digging or ploughing.
