Here are a few:
Idleness is not doing nothing. Idleness is being free to do anything.
-Floyd Dell
Idleness and lack of occupation tend - nay are dragged - towards evil.
-Hippocrates (460 BC - 377 BC)
Idleness, like kisses, to be sweet must be stolen.
-Jerome K. Jerome (1859 - 1927)
Idleness is an inlet to disorder, and makes way for licentiousness. People who have nothing to do are quickly tired of their own company.
-Jeremy Collier
Idleness is a constant sin, and labor is a duty. Idleness is the devil's home for temptation and for unprofitable, distracting musings; while labor profiteth others and ourselves.
-Anne Baxter

Do you mean: Idleness is the root of all evil? There seem to be a lot of quotes about idleness, but this is the one that comes to my mind. The site I found says it comes from German, and there seem to be various ways of saying it. And Soren Kierkegaard says it is the "only true good." I'm more with Soren.
