Ibn Hazm quotes - page 2

If science, and devoting oneself to it, had no other use than avoiding exhausting temptations, rushes of hope that give worry, and thoughts that sadden the soul, that alone should give us reasons to seek it... Kinglets have sought distraction in chess, wine, music, hunting and much else that only bring harm in this world and the other. (Ibn Hazm)
Blame from a man with a corrupt soul in opposing him, and refraining from evil deeds is better for you than his esteem if you did evil. View quote
