Mishnah 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
He [Rabbi Tarfon] used to say: It is not your duty to finish the work, but neither are you at liberty to neglect it; If you have studied much Torah, you shall be given much reward. Faithful is your employer to pay you the reward of your labor; And know that the grant of reward unto the righteous is in the age to come.
