Throughout history many nations have suffered a physical defeat, but that has never marked the end of a nation. But when a nation has become the victim of a psychological defeat, then that marks the end of a nation.
Ibn Khaldun

The term of life of a dynasty does not normally exceed three generations. For in the first generation are still preserved the characteristic features of rough, uncivilized rural life, such as hard conditions of life, courage, ferocity, and partnership in authority.

How can the heart travel to God, when it is chained by its desires?

The body's weakness comes from illnesses, while the heart's weakness comes from sins.
And just as the body does not taste the delights of food when it is ill, the heart does not taste the delights of worship when it is sinful.

Ignorance leads to fear, fear leads to hate, and hate leads to violence. This is the equation.
Ibn Rushd

At the beginning of a dynasty, taxation yields a large revenue from small assessments.
At the end of the dynasty, taxation yields a small revenue from large assessments.
Ibn Khaldun

If the soul is impartial in receiving information, it devotes to that information the share of critical investigation the information deserves, and its truth or untruth thus becomes clear. However, if the soul is infected with partisanship for a particular opinion or sect, it accepts without a moment's hesitation the information that is agreeable to it. Prejudice and partisanship obscure the critical faculty and preclude critical investigation. The results is that falsehoods are accepted and transmitted.
Ibn Khaldun
