Maimonides Mean Quotations

No disease that can be treated by diet should be treated with any other means.

While one man can discover a certain thing by himself, another is never able to understand it, even if taught by means of all possible expressions and metaphors, and during a long period; his mind can in no way grasp it, his capacity is insufficient for it.

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.

Every man whose character traits all lie in the mean is called a wise man.

What is lofty can be said in any language. What is mean should be said in none.

Let nothing which can be treated by diet be treated by other means.
