More quotes by Maimonides
Hear the truth from whomever says it
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
In the realm of Nature there is nothing purposeless, trivial, or unnecessary
Maimonides
God cannot be compared to anything. Note this.
Maimonides
Astrology is not an art, it is a disease.
Maimonides
If a person studies too much and exhausts his reflective powers, he will be confused, and will not be able to apprehend even that which had been within the power of his apprehension. For the powers of the body are all alike in this respect.
Maimonides
All the evils that men cause to each other because of certain desires, or opinions or religious principles, are rooted in ignorance. [All hatred would come to an end] when the earth was flooded with the knowledge of God.
Maimonides
Just as a person is commanded to honor and revere his father, so he is under an obligation to honor and revere his teacher, even to a greater extent than his father for his father gave him life in this world, while his teacher instructs him in wisdom, secures for him life in the world to come.
Maimonides
It is of great advantage that man should know his station, and not imagine that the whole universe exists only for him.
Maimonides
Further, there are things of which the mind understands one part, but remains ignorant of the other and when man is able to comprehend certain things, it does not follow that he must be able to comprehend everything.
Maimonides
All forces that reside in the body are angels.
Maimonides
Giving is most blessed and most acceptable when the donor remains completely anonymous.
Maimonides
The physician should not treat the disease but the patient who is suffering from it
Maimonides
The true work of God is all good, since it is existence.
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
Every man should view himself as equally balanced: half good and half evil. Likewise, he should see the entire world as half good and half evil.... With a single good deed he will tip the scales for himself, and for the entire world, to the side of good.
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
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
You must accept the truth from whatever source it comes.
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
