The day is short, and the work [to be performed] is much; and the workmen are indolent, but the reward is much; and the master of the house is insistent.
It is not [incumbent] upon thee to finish the work, but neither art thou a free man so as to [be entitled to] refrain therefrom.
--Mishna Nezikin, Avos 2:15,16
