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
I will destroy my enemies by converting them to friends.
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
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
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
Management [ Providence ], knowledge, and intention are not the same when ascribed to us and when ascribed to God.
Maimonides
God cannot be compared to anything. Note this.
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
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
