Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
From Maimonides
You must accept the truth from whatever source it comes.
No disease that can be treated by diet should be treated with any other means.
He, however, who begins with Metaphysics, will not only become confused in matters of religion, but will fall into complete infidelity.
One should see the world, and see himself as a scale with an equal balance of good and evil. When he does one good deed the scale is tipped to the good - he and the world is saved. When he does one evil deed the scale is tipped to the bad - he and the world is destroyed.
The risk of a wrong decision is preferable to the terror of indecision.
Transient bodies are only subject to destruction through their substance and not through their form, nor can the essence of their form be destroyed; in this respect, they are permanent.
It is necessary to bear in mind that Scripture only teaches the chief points of those true principles which lead to the true perfection of man, and only demands in general terms faith in them.
Do not consider it proof just because it is written in books, for a liar who will deceive with his tongue will not hesitate to do the same with his pen.
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 truth removes hatred and quarrels, and prevents mutual injuries.
