More quotes by Maimonides
Know that for the human mind there are certain objects of perception which are within the scope of its nature and capacity on the other hand, there are, amongst things which actually exist, certain objects which the mind can in no way and by no means grasp: the gates of perception are closed against it.
Maimonides
Actions are divided as regards their object into four classes they are either purposeless , unimportant , or vain , or good .
Maimonides
The fact that laws were given to man, both affirmative and negative, supports the principle, that God's knowledge of future events does not change their character. The great doubt that presents itself to our mind is the result of the insufficiency of our intellect.
Maimonides
If men possessed wisdom, which stands in the same relation to the form of man as the sight to the eye, they would not cause any injury to themselves or to others, for the knowledge of the truth removes hatred and quarrels, and prevents mutual injuries.
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
Do not imagine that these most difficult problems can be thoroughly understood by any one of us.
Maimonides
The question, What is the purpose thereof? cannot be asked about anything which is not the product of an agent therefore we cannot ask what is the purpose of the existence of God.
Maimonides
A truth does not become greater by repetition.
Maimonides
All forces that reside in the body are angels.
Maimonides
The physician should not treat the disease but the patient who is suffering from it
Maimonides
In the beginning we must simplify the subject, thus unavoidably falsifying it, and later we must sophisticate away the falsely simple beginning.
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 true work of God is all good, since it is existence.
Maimonides
Giving is most blessed and most acceptable when the donor remains completely anonymous.
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
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!
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
Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still.
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
God is identical with His attributes, so that it may be said that He is the knowledge, the knower, and the known.
Maimonides
