More quotes by Maimonides
God cannot be compared to anything. Note this.
Maimonides
Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still.
Maimonides
There is no difference between the worry of a human mother and an animal mother for their offspring. A mother's love does not derive from the intellect but from the emotions, in animals just as in humans.
Maimonides
You must accept the truth from whatever source it comes.
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 so-called evils are evils only in relation to a certain thing, and that which is evil in relation to a certain existing thing, either includes the non-existence of that thing or the non-existence of some of its good conditions.
Maimonides
He who does not understand that a dead lion is more alive than a living dog will remain a dog.
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
Hold firmly to your word.
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
A small amount of wine such as three or four glasses is of benefit for the preservation of the health of human beings and an excellent remedy for most illnesses.
Maimonides
The physician should not treat the disease but the patient who is suffering from it
Maimonides
There are four different theories concerning Divine Providence they are all ancient, known from the time of the Prophets, when the true law was revealed to enlighten these dark regions.
Maimonides
God who preceded all existence is a refuge.
Maimonides
Just as a person is commanded to honor and revere his father, so he is under an obligation to honor and revere his teacher, even to a greater extent than his father for his father gave him life in this world, while his teacher instructs him in wisdom, secures for him life in the world to come.
Maimonides
The philosophers likewise assume that in Nature there is nothing in vain, so that everything that is not the product of human industry serves a certain purpose, which may be known or unknown to us.
Maimonides
The Prophets even express their surprise that God should take notice of man, who is too little and too unimportant to be worthy of the attention of the Creator how, then, should other living creatures be considered as proper objects for Divine Providence!
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
Astrology is a sickness, not a science ... It is a tree under the shade of which all sorts of superstitions thrive.
Maimonides
In accordance with the divine wisdom, genesis can only take place through destruction.
Maimonides
