Two possibilities: making oneself infinitely small or being so. The second is perfection, that is to say, inactivity, the first is beginning, that is to say, action.

Franz Kafka

Idleness is the beginning of all vice, the crown of all virtues.

Franz Kafka

I think the vice of our housekeeping is that it does not hold man sacred. The vice of government, the vice of education, the viceof religion, is one with that of the private life.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Michel de Montaigne

Idleness is the beginning of all psychology. What? Could it be that psychology is ? a vice?

Friedrich Nietzsche

Jeff Zucker

Inactivity is death.

Benito Mussolini

The essence of decay is inactivity.

Jack LaLanne

My dad challenged every president from President [Dwight] Eisenhower and Vice President [Richard] Nixon to President [J.F] Kennedy, Vice President [Lindon] Johnson to President Johnson and Vice President [Hubert] Humphrey. It`s challenging the administrations to do the right thing.

Al Sharpton

Inactivity is the biggest sin in boxing.

Sugar Ray Leonard

A vice sanctioned by the general opinion is merely a vice. The evil terminates in itself. A vice condemned by the general opinion produces a pernicious effect on the whole character. The former is a local malady; the latter, constitutional taint. When the reputation of the offender is lost, he too often flings the remainder of his virtue after it in despair.

Thomas B. Macaulay

Perhaps [James Herondale] loved vice for vice's own sake.

Cassandra Clare

Virtue itself turns vice, being misapplied, And vice sometime by action dignified.

William Shakespeare

It takes a vice to check a vice, and virtue is the by-product of a stalemate between opposite vices.

Eric Hoffer

Let's not talk so much about vice. I'm against vice in all forms.

John F. Kennedy

Keep your hands clean and pure from the infamous vice of corruption, a vice so infamous that it degrades even the other vices thatmay accompany it. Accept no present whatever; let your character in that respect be transparent and without the least speck, for as avarice is the vilest and dirtiest vice in private, corruption is so in public life.

Lord Chesterfield
