“I am told that there are men
Who work well and sleep badly,
Who do not sleep. What a lack of faith in me!
It would almost be better if they did not work but slept, because laziness is not a more serious sin than anxiety …
I am not speaking, God says, of those men who do not work and do not sleep.
These are sinners, of course …
I am speaking of those who work and do not sleep.
I feel sorry for them. They have no confidence in me …
They govern their affairs very well during the day.
But do not want to entrust to me their governance during the night …
He who does not sleep is unfaithful to Hope …”
