More quotes by Maimonides
I believe with perfect faith that the Creator, blessed be his name, is not a body, and that he is free from all accidents of matter, and that he has not any form whatsoever.
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
Know that for the human mind there are certain objects of perception which are within the scope of its nature and capacity on the other hand, there are, amongst things which actually exist, certain objects which the mind can in no way and by no means grasp: the gates of perception are closed against it.
Maimonides
Let nothing which can be treated by diet be treated by other means.
Maimonides
There is no difference between the worry of a human mother and an animal mother for their offspring. A mother's love does not derive from the intellect but from the emotions, in animals just as in humans.
Maimonides
Every ignoramus imagines that all that exists, exists with a view to his individual sake it is as if there were nothing that exists except him. And if something happens to him that is contrary to what he wishes, he makes the trenchant judgement that all that exists is an evil.
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 physician should not treat the disease but the patient who is suffering from it
Maimonides
Do not imagine that these most difficult problems can be thoroughly understood by any one of us.
Maimonides
You must consider, when reading this treatise, that mental perception, because connected with matter, is subject to conditions similar to those to which physical perception is subject.
Maimonides
Astrology is not an art, it is a disease.
Maimonides
In the realm of Nature there is nothing purposeless, trivial, or unnecessary
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
In accordance with the divine wisdom, genesis can only take place through destruction.
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
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
Hear the truth from whomever says it
Maimonides
All forces that reside in the body are angels.
Maimonides
No form remains permanently in a substance a constant change takes place, one form is taken off and another is put on.
Maimonides
No disease that can be treated by diet should be treated with any other means.
Maimonides
