There may be arrogance — and the laziness of someone who is indefatigable when doing what he enjoys, but only when doing that.

George F. Will
About This Quote

We all have things we love to do. When we are not working, it is important for us to find other things to do that will occupy our time. However, there can be arrogance in doing what you love when you are not working to pay the bills. If you do not have a proper work ethic, you can be lazy and continue to do what you love without working for it. This quote is an example of the costs of laziness.
