More quotes by Maimonides
He who immerses himself in sexual intercourse will be assailed by premature aging, his strength will wane, his eyes will weaken, and a bad odour will emit from his mouth and his armpits, his teeth will fall out and many other maladies will afflict him.
Maimonides
Inspire me with love for my art and for thy creatures. In the sufferer let me see only the human being.
Maimonides

Maimonides
I believe with perfect faith that the Creator, blessed be his name, is not a body, and that he is free from all accidents of matter, and that he has not any form whatsoever.
Maimonides
Medical practice is not knitting and weaving and the labor of the hands, but it must be inspired with soul and be filled with understanding and equipped with the gift of keen observation . . .
Maimonides
Do not consider it proof just because it is written in books, for a liar who will deceive with his tongue will not hesitate to do the same with his pen.
Maimonides
Astrology is a disease, not a science.
Maimonides

Maimonides
If a person studies too much and exhausts his reflective powers, he will be confused, and will not be able to apprehend even that which had been within the power of his apprehension. For the powers of the body are all alike in this respect.
Maimonides
It is of great advantage that man should know his station, and not imagine that the whole universe exists only for him.
Maimonides
All attributes ascribed to God are attributes of His acts, and do not imply that God has any qualities.
Maimonides
How individuals of the same species surpass each other in these sensations and in other bodily faculties is universally known, but there is a limit to them, and their power cannot extend to every distance or to every degree.
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
Do not imagine that these most difficult problems can be thoroughly understood by any one of us.
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
God who preceded all existence is a refuge.
Maimonides
Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still.
Maimonides
Giving is most blessed and most acceptable when the donor remains completely anonymous.
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
