More quotes by Maimonides
God is identical with His attributes, so that it may be said that He is the knowledge, the knower, and the known.
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
There are eight rungs in charity. The highest is when you help a man to help himself.
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
A wise man is a greater asset to a nation than a king.
Maimonides
Whatever form it has, it [matter] will be disposed to receive another form it never leaves off moving and casting off the form which it has in order to receive another. ...It is therefore clear that all corruption, destruction, or defect comes from matter.
Maimonides
Astrology is a disease, not a science... It is a tree under the shadow of which all sorts of superstitions thrive. ... Only fools and charlatans lend value to it.
Maimonides
No disease that can be treated by diet should be treated with any other means.
Maimonides
Astrology is not an art, it is a disease.
Maimonides
Management [ Providence ], knowledge, and intention are not the same when ascribed to us and when ascribed to God.
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
The knowledge of God, the formation of ideas, the mastery of desire and passion, the distinction between that which is to be chosen and that which is to be rejected, all these man owes to his form.
Maimonides
There are eight levels of charity.... The highest is when you strengthen a man's hand until he need no longer be dependent upon others.
Maimonides
The soul, when accustomed to superfluous things, acquires a strong habit of desiring things which are neither necessary for the preservation of the individual nor for that of the species. This desire is without limit, whilst those which are necessary are few in number and restricted within certain limits but what is superfluous is without end.
Maimonides
The physician should not treat the disease but the patient who is suffering from it
Maimonides
Man's obsession to add to his wealth and honor is the chief source of his misery.
Maimonides
Giving is most blessed and most acceptable when the donor remains completely anonymous.
Maimonides
It is of great advantage that man should know his station, and not imagine that the whole universe exists only for him.
Maimonides
Transient bodies are only subject to destruction through their substance and not through their form, nor can the essence of their form be destroyed in this respect they are permanent.
Maimonides
God who preceded all existence is a refuge.
Maimonides
