1) Do something everyday that you don't want to do, this is the golden rule for acquiring the habit of doing your duty without pain. - Mark Twain

Meaning - Laziness makes you feel tired even at the thought of working and that's why lazy people prefer to rest more and work less.

5) Contrapunto: Eat right, exercise regularly, die anyway.
Meaning - Even if you eat perfectly and stay physically active, one day you will also die like everyone else. But that shouldn't stop you from following good habits.
