Commentary for Sukkah 52:4
אביי הוה ניים כדמעייל מפומבדיתא לבי כובי קרי עליה רב יוסף (משלי ו, ט) עד מתי עצל תשכב מתי תקום משנתך
Abaye slept [by day] as long as it takes to go up from Pumbeditha to Be Kube. R. Joseph applied to him the verse, "How long will you sleep, O sluggard, when will you arise out of your sleep" (Proverbs 6:9).
Pirkei Avot
Rabbi Tarfon said: the day is short, and the work is plentiful, and the laborers are indolent, and the reward is great, and the master of the house is insistent.
