Uṭṭhānakālamhi anuṭṭhahāno,  
Yuvā balī ālasiyaṃ upeto;  
Saṃsannasaṅkappamano kusīto,  
Paññāya maggaṃ alaso na vindati.

> He who does not rouse himself when it is time to rise, who, though young and strong, is full of sloth, whose will and thought are weak, that lazy and idle man will never find the way to knowledge.  
> — Friedrich Max Müller 1881, The Dhammapada (Sacred Books of the East 10.1)
