Bored people, unless they sleep a lot, are cruel.

Idleness is an inlet to disorder, and makes way for licentiousness. People who have nothing to do are quickly tired of their own company.

Idleness is the stupidity of the body, and stupidity is the idleness of the mind.

Sadly, many in our world today encourage idleness, especially in the form of mindless, inane entertainment that is on the Internet, on television, and in computer games.

It is idleness that creates impossibilities; and where people don't care to do anything, they shelter themselves under a permission that it cannot be done.

To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life; foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent.

Idleness among children, as among men, is the root of all evil, and leads to no other evil more certain than ill temper.

Idleness is to the human mind like rust to iron.

Idleness is only the refuge of weak minds.
