A wise man is a greater asset to a nation than a king.
Maimonides
Man's obsession to add to his wealth and honor is the chief source of his misery.
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.
