The sleeping fox catches no poultry.

The sleeping fox catches no poultry.

Summary

This quote means that if someone is lazy or inactive, they will not achieve success or get what they want. It emphasizes the importance of being proactive and taking action in order to achieve desired outcomes. Just like a fox that is sleeping instead of hunting, individuals who do not actively pursue their goals will find themselves empty-handed. It serves as a reminder to stay motivated, work hard, and consistently make efforts towards one's aspirations in order to see results.
