Maimonides
In the realm of Nature there is nothing purposeless, trivial, or unnecessary
Maimonides
You will certainly not doubt the necessity of studying astronomy and physics, if you are desirous of comprehending the relation between the world and Providence as it is in reality, and not according to imagination.
Maimonides
Man's obsession to add to his wealth and honor is the chief source of his misery.
Maimonides
