Maimonides

Maimonides
Let nothing which can be treated by diet be treated by other means.
Maimonides

Maimonides
Actions are divided as regards their object into four classes they are either purposeless , unimportant , or vain , or good .
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
The soul is subject to health and disease, just as is the body. The health and disease of both . . . undoubtedly depend upon beliefs and customs, which are peculiar to mankind.
Maimonides
The physician should not treat the disease but the patient who is suffering from it
