Comprehension Passage

Read the following passage and answer the questions given below:

There are some people who are born with a gift for early rising. I was born with a genius for lying in bed. I have always felt that people who rise early are slightly self-righteous. They can't help feeling a little scornful of us sluggards. And we know it. Humility is the badge of all our tribes. We are not proud of lying in bed. We are ashamed and happy. The noblest sluggard of us all has stated our case for us. "No man practises so well as he writes", said Dr. Johnson "I have all my life been lying till noon; yet I tell all young men, and tell them with great sincerity, that nobody who does not rise early will ever do any good."

Of course we pay the penalty We do not catch the early worm, When we turn out all the bargains have gone, and we are left only with odds and ends. From a practical point of view, we have no defence. We know that an early start is the secret of success. And if you have ever been on a walking or cycling tour you know that early rising is the key of the business. Start early and you are the master of your programme and your fate. Start late and you are the slave of the hours.

What did Dr. Johnson say about sluggards?

1
Sluggards never practise so well as they write.
2
Sluggards often wake up early.
3
Sluggards are successful in business. 
4
Sluggards practise so well as they write.
