Hear the truth from whomever says it
Maimonides

Maimonides
Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still.
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
A truth does not become greater by repetition.
Maimonides
Let nothing which can be treated by diet be treated by other means.
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
God cannot be compared to anything. Note this.
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
All the evils that men cause to each other because of certain desires, or opinions or religious principles, are rooted in ignorance. [All hatred would come to an end] when the earth was flooded with the knowledge of God.
Maimonides

Maimonides

Maimonides
There are eight rungs in charity. The highest is when you help a man to help himself.
Maimonides
The second class of evils comprises such evils as people cause to each other, when, e.g. , some of them use their strength against others. These evils are more numerous than those of the first kind... they likewise originate in ourselves, though the sufferer himself cannot avert them.
Maimonides
God is identical with His attributes, so that it may be said that He is the knowledge, the knower, and the known.
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
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
Inspire me with love for my art and for thy creatures. In the sufferer let me see only the human being.
Maimonides
Actions are divided as regards their object into four classes they are either purposeless , unimportant , or vain , or good .
Maimonides
He who does not understand that a dead lion is more alive than a living dog will remain a dog.
Maimonides
