Hold firmly to your word.
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
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

Maimonides

All attributes ascribed to God are attributes of His acts, and do not imply that God has any qualities.
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
The true work of God is all good, since it is existence.
Maimonides
It is hard for a woman with whom an uncircumcised man has had sexual intercourse to separate from him. In my opinion this is the strongest of the reasons for circumcision.
Maimonides
God is identical with His attributes, so that it may be said that He is the knowledge, the knower, and the known.
Maimonides
Let nothing which can be treated by diet be treated by other means.
Maimonides
The fact that laws were given to man, both affirmative and negative, supports the principle, that God's knowledge of future events does not change their character. The great doubt that presents itself to our mind is the result of the insufficiency of our intellect.
Maimonides
