Maimonides

God is identical with His attributes, so that it may be said that He is the knowledge, the knower, and the known.
Maimonides
There is no difference between the worry of a human mother and an animal mother for their offspring. A mother's love does not derive from the intellect but from the emotions, in animals just as in humans.
Maimonides
The true work of God is all good, since it is existence.
Maimonides
It is of great advantage that man should know his station, and not imagine that the whole universe exists only for him.
