From the library

We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep.
Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.
For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.
