More From Maimonides

Every Man Whose Character Traits All Lie In The Mean Is Called A Wise Man.

Actions Are Divided As Regards Their Object Into Four Classes; They Are Either Purposeless , Unimportant , Or Vain , Or Good .

Further, There Are Things Of Which The Mind Understands One Part, But Remains Ignorant Of The Other; And When Man Is Able To Comprehend Certain Things, It Does Not Follow That He Must Be Able To Comprehend Everything.

The Error Of The Ignorant Goes So Far As To Say That God's Power Is Insufficient, Because He Has Given To This Universe The Properties Which They Imagine Cause These Great Evils, And Which Do Not Help All Evil-disposed Persons To Obtain The Evil Which They Seek, And To Bring Their Evil Souls To The Aim Of Their Desires, Though These, As We Have Shown, Are Really Without Limit.

A Truth Does Not Become Greater By Repetition.
