Maimonides
Man's obsession to add to his wealth and honor is the chief source of his misery.
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
Let nothing which can be treated by diet be treated by other means.
Maimonides

Maimonides

Maimonides
Transient bodies are only subject to destruction through their substance and not through their form, nor can the essence of their form be destroyed in this respect they are permanent.
Maimonides
It is possible that the meaning of wisdom in Hebrew indicates aptitude for stratagems and the application of thought in such a way that the stratagems and ruses may be used in achieving either rational or moral virtues, or in achieving skill in a practical art, or in working evil and wickedness.
Maimonides
Whatever form it has, it [matter] will be disposed to receive another form it never leaves off moving and casting off the form which it has in order to receive another. ...It is therefore clear that all corruption, destruction, or defect comes from matter.
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
Management [ Providence ], knowledge, and intention are not the same when ascribed to us and when ascribed to God.
Maimonides
Now, we occupy a lowly position, both in space and rank in comparison with the heavenly sphere, and the Almighty is Most High not in space, but with respect to absolute existence, greatness and power.
Maimonides
