More quotes by Maimonides
Management [ Providence ], knowledge, and intention are not the same when ascribed to us and when ascribed to God.
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
Do not imagine that these most difficult problems can be thoroughly understood by any one of us.
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
I will destroy my enemies by converting them to friends.
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
Inspire me with love for my art and for thy creatures. In the sufferer let me see only the human being.
Maimonides
Man's obsession to add to his wealth and honor is the chief source of his misery.
Maimonides
In accordance with the divine wisdom, genesis can only take place through destruction, and without destruction of the individual members of the species the species themselves would not exist permanently. Thus the true kindness, and beneficence, and goodness of God is clear.
Maimonides
Anticipate charity by preventing poverty.
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
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
No form remains permanently in a substance a constant change takes place, one form is taken off and another is put on.
Maimonides
Astrology is a sickness, not a science ... It is a tree under the shade of which all sorts of superstitions thrive.
Maimonides
Your purpose...should always be to know...the whole that was intended to be known.
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
Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still.
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
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
It is hard for a woman with whom an uncircumcised man has had sexual intercourse to separate from him. In my opinion this is the strongest of the reasons for circumcision.
