Negligence is the rust of the soul, that corrodes through all her best resolves. - Owen Felltham (Feltham) A little neglect may breed great mischief. For want of a nail the shoe was lost; for want of a shoe the horse was lost; and for want of a horse the rider was lost, being overtaken and slain by the enemy; all for want of a little care about a horse-shoe nail. - Benjamin Franklin The best ground untilled, soonest runs out into rank weeds. A man of knowledge that is negligent or uncorrected, cannot but grow wild and godless. - Joseph Hall Every man has something to do which he neglects, every man has faults to conquer which he delays to combat. - Samuel Johnson (a/k/a Dr. Johnson) ("The Great Cham of Literature") The heavens, with their everlasting faithfulness, look down on no sadder contradiction than the sluggard and the slattern in their prayers. - James Martineau In persons grafted in a serious trust, Negligence is a crime. - William Shakespeare
