In accordance with the divine wisdom, genesis can only take place through destruction.
Maimonides
The physician should not treat the disease but the patient who is suffering from it
Maimonides
The question, What is the purpose thereof? cannot be asked about anything which is not the product of an agent therefore we cannot ask what is the purpose of the existence of God.
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
A wise man is a greater asset to a nation than a king.
Maimonides
The first kind of evil is that which is caused to man by the circumstance that he is subject to genesis and destruction, or that he possesses a body.
Maimonides
The risk of a wrong decision is preferable to the terror of indecision.
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.

The second class of evils comprises such evils as people cause to each other, when, e.g. , some of them use their strength against others. These evils are more numerous than those of the first kind... they likewise originate in ourselves, though the sufferer himself cannot avert them.
Maimonides
All forces that reside in the body are angels.
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
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
You must accept the truth from whatever source it comes.
Maimonides
Do not imagine that these most difficult problems can be thoroughly understood by any one of us.
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
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
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
The being which has absolute existence, which has never been and will never be without existence, is not in need of an agent.
Maimonides
