More quotes by 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
No form remains permanently in a substance a constant change takes place, one form is taken off and another is put on.
Maimonides
Management [ Providence ], knowledge, and intention are not the same when ascribed to us and when ascribed to God.
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

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
Know that for the human mind there are certain objects of perception which are within the scope of its nature and capacity on the other hand, there are, amongst things which actually exist, certain objects which the mind can in no way and by no means grasp: the gates of perception are closed against it.
Maimonides
The whole object of the Prophets and the Sages was to declare that a limit is set to human reason where it must halt.
Maimonides
The risk of a wrong decision is preferable to the terror of indecision.
Maimonides
Astrology is not an art, it is a disease.
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
Hold firmly to your word.
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
God cannot be compared to anything. Note this.
Maimonides
The true work of God is all good, since it is existence.
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
Astrology is a sickness, not a science ... It is a tree under the shade of which all sorts of superstitions thrive.
Maimonides
There are eight rungs in charity. The highest is when you help a man to help himself.
Maimonides
