א. עַל יְדֵי תַּאֲווֹת שֶׁאָדָם תָּאֵב, וְאֵינוֹ מַשִּׂיג אוֹתָם, עַל יְדֵי זֶה בָּא עַצְלוּת וְהוּא הַדִּין לְהֵפֶךְ.

The aleph bet book, translated by Moshe Mykoff. New York: Breslov Research Institute, 1986

Being unable to satisfy one’s desires makes a person lazy. The converse is also the case, [as a person’s laziness keeps him from attaining his desires].

ב. עַל יְדֵי זְרִיזוּת מֵסִיר אֶת הַשֵּׁנָה וּמְחַיֶּה אֶת הַמֹּחִין.

The aleph bet book, translated by Moshe Mykoff. New York: Breslov Research Institute, 1986

Zealousness chases away sleep and revives the mind.
