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

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
In accordance with the divine wisdom, genesis can only take place through destruction.
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
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
Astrology is a sickness, not a science ... It is a tree under the shade of which all sorts of superstitions thrive.
Maimonides
Anticipate charity by preventing poverty.
Maimonides
The whole object of the Prophets and the Sages was to declare that a limit is set to human reason where it must halt.
Maimonides
The more we desire for that which is superfluous, the more we meet with difficulties our strength and possessions are spent in unnecessary things, and are wanting when required for that which is necessary.
Maimonides
Those who grieve find comfort in weeping and in arousing their sorrow until the body is too tired to bear the inner emotions.
Maimonides
