More quotes by Maimonides
Medical practice is not knitting and weaving and the labor of the hands, but it must be inspired with soul and be filled with understanding and equipped with the gift of keen observation . . .
Maimonides
Do not consider it proof just because it is written in books, for a liar who will deceive with his tongue will not hesitate to do the same with his pen.
Maimonides
How individuals of the same species surpass each other in these sensations and in other bodily faculties is universally known, but there is a limit to them, and their power cannot extend to every distance or to every degree.
Maimonides
You must consider, when reading this treatise, that mental perception, because connected with matter, is subject to conditions similar to those to which physical perception is subject.
Maimonides
Your purpose...should always be to know...the whole that was intended to be known.
Maimonides
Man's obsession to add to his wealth and honor is the chief source of his misery.
Maimonides
The so-called evils are evils only in relation to a certain thing, and that which is evil in relation to a certain existing thing, either includes the non-existence of that thing or the non-existence of some of its good conditions.
Maimonides
The physician should not treat the disease but the patient who is suffering from it
Maimonides
It is of great advantage that man should know his station, and not imagine that the whole universe exists only for him.
Maimonides
I will destroy my enemies by converting them to friends.
Maimonides
The soul, when accustomed to superfluous things, acquires a strong habit of desiring things which are neither necessary for the preservation of the individual nor for that of the species. This desire is without limit, whilst those which are necessary are few in number and restricted within certain limits but what is superfluous is without end.
Maimonides
We suffer from the evils which we, by our own free will, inflict on ourselves and ascribe them to God, who is far from being connected with them!
Maimonides
There is no difference between the pain of humans and the pain of other living beings, since the love and tenderness of the mother for the young are not produced by reasoning, but by feeling, and this faculty exists not only in humans but in most living beings.
Maimonides
Whatever form it has, it [matter] will be disposed to receive another form it never leaves off moving and casting off the form which it has in order to receive another. ...It is therefore clear that all corruption, destruction, or defect comes from matter.
Maimonides
If men possessed wisdom, which stands in the same relation to the form of man as the sight to the eye, they would not cause any injury to themselves or to others, for the knowledge of the truth removes hatred and quarrels, and prevents mutual injuries.
Maimonides
Giving is most blessed and most acceptable when the donor remains completely anonymous.
Maimonides
The risk of a wrong decision is preferable to the terror of indecision.
Maimonides
God cannot be compared to anything. Note this.
Maimonides
The philosophers likewise assume that in Nature there is nothing in vain, so that everything that is not the product of human industry serves a certain purpose, which may be known or unknown to us.
Maimonides
Know that for the human mind there are certain objects of perception which are within the scope of its nature and capacity on the other hand, there are, amongst things which actually exist, certain objects which the mind can in no way and by no means grasp: the gates of perception are closed against it.
Maimonides
