Break a lazy man’s leg and he may waste away to nothing.  He will favor his injury until he begins to die from lack of exercise.  Break a diligent man’s leg and he will begin to walk on it long before it heals.  It doesn’t matter to him that he may limp for the rest of his life.  He will not sit for a “slight injury”.

Reprove a fool and he will waste away for lack of knowledge.  Reprove a diligent and wise godly man and he will leap up to render corrected service to his Lord.
