More quotes by 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
No form remains permanently in a substance a constant change takes place, one form is taken off and another is put on.
Maimonides
You must accept the truth from whatever source it comes.
Maimonides
He who does not understand that a dead lion is more alive than a living dog will remain a dog.
Maimonides
Management [ Providence ], knowledge, and intention are not the same when ascribed to us and when ascribed to God.
Maimonides
In accordance with the divine wisdom, genesis can only take place through destruction.
Maimonides
Astrology is a sickness, not a science ... It is a tree under the shade of which all sorts of superstitions thrive.
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
Giving is most blessed and most acceptable when the donor remains completely anonymous.
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
God cannot be compared to anything. Note this.
Maimonides
To the totality of purposes of the perfect Law there belong the abandonment, depreciation, and restraint of desires in so far as possible.
Maimonides
Every man should view himself as equally balanced: half good and half evil. Likewise, he should see the entire world as half good and half evil.... With a single good deed he will tip the scales for himself, and for the entire world, to the side of good.
Maimonides
Astrology is a disease, not a science.
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
Every ignoramus imagines that all that exists, exists with a view to his individual sake it is as if there were nothing that exists except him. And if something happens to him that is contrary to what he wishes, he makes the trenchant judgement that all that exists is an evil.
Maimonides
Further, there are things of which the mind understands one part, but remains ignorant of the other and when man is able to comprehend certain things, it does not follow that he must be able to comprehend everything.
Maimonides
The being which has absolute existence, which has never been and will never be without existence, is not in need of an agent.
Maimonides
There are eight rungs in charity. The highest is when you help a man to help himself.
Maimonides
Astrology is a disease, not a science... It is a tree under the shadow of which all sorts of superstitions thrive. ... Only fools and charlatans lend value to it.
Maimonides
