More quotes by Maimonides

Maimonides

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 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
Inspire me with love for my art and for thy creatures. In the sufferer let me see only the human being.

Maimonides
Man's obsession to add to his wealth and honor is the chief source of his misery.
Maimonides
You must accept the truth from whatever source it comes.
Maimonides
It is of great advantage that man should know his station, and not imagine that the whole universe exists only for him.
Maimonides
The key to the understanding and to the full comprehension of all that the Prophets have said is found in the knowledge of the figures, their general ideas, and the meaning of each word they contain.
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
The physician should not treat the disease but the patient who is suffering from it
