Maimonides

Maimonides
We suffer from the evils which we, by our own free will, inflict on ourselves and ascribe them to God, who is far from being connected with them!

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
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
You must consider, when reading this treatise, that mental perception, because connected with matter, is subject to conditions similar to those to which physical perception is subject.
Maimonides
The physician should not treat the disease but the patient who is suffering from it
Maimonides
God cannot be compared to anything. Note this.
Maimonides
No form remains permanently in a substance a constant change takes place, one form is taken off and another is put on.
