More quotes by Maimonides
He who does not understand that a dead lion is more alive than a living dog will remain a dog.
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
In the realm of Nature there is nothing purposeless, trivial, or unnecessary
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
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
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
How individuals of the same species surpass each other in these sensations and in other bodily faculties is universally known, but there is a limit to them, and their power cannot extend to every distance or to every degree.
Maimonides
It is possible that the meaning of wisdom in Hebrew indicates aptitude for stratagems and the application of thought in such a way that the stratagems and ruses may be used in achieving either rational or moral virtues, or in achieving skill in a practical art, or in working evil and wickedness.
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
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.
Maimonides
Astrology is not an art, it is a disease.
Maimonides
A wise man is a greater asset to a nation than a king.
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
There are eight rungs in charity. The highest is when you help a man to help himself.
Maimonides
God is identical with His attributes, so that it may be said that He is the knowledge, the knower, and the known.
Maimonides
The more we desire for that which is superfluous, the more we meet with difficulties our strength and possessions are spent in unnecessary things, and are wanting when required for that which is necessary.
Maimonides
No form remains permanently in a substance a constant change takes place, one form is taken off and another is put on.
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
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 being which has absolute existence, which has never been and will never be without existence, is not in need of an agent.
Maimonides
