Yuppp, there are many such insights marked there, especially about being lazy for its worth. The example of Wordsworth is prime.
The best part of the essay for me is
All the evil in this world brought by persons who are always up and doing, but do not know when they ought to be up nor what they ought to be doing. The devil, I take it, is still the busiest creature in the universe, and I can quite imagine him denouncing laziness and becoming angry at the smallest waste of time.
This is the best narration of devils. I always laugh at people who advocate 'business'.
