The soul is subject to health and disease, just as is the body. The health and disease of both . . . undoubtedly depend upon beliefs and customs, which are peculiar to mankind.
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
God cannot be compared to anything. Note this.
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
He who does not understand that a dead lion is more alive than a living dog will remain a dog.
