Proverbs 22:13

“Many frighten themselves from real duties by imaginary difficulties…He talks of a lion without, but considers not his real danger from the devil, that roaring lion, which is in bed with him, and from his own slothfulness, which kills him,” [M. Henry].

For the person who is unwilling to do honest work, any excuse will do, though it makes him appear ridiculous by its silliness.
