    How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? When wilt thou arise out
    of thy sleep?
    Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the
    hands to sleep:
    So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth,
    and thy want as an armed man.

Had the crow only fed without cawing she would have had more to
eat, and much less of strife read more

Had the crow only fed without cawing she would have had more to
eat, and much less of strife and envy to contend with. [To noise
abroad our success is to invite envy and competition.]
