Maimonides Quotes About Property

• The Mutakallemim... apply the term non-existence only to absolute non-existence, and not to absence of properties. A property and the absence of that property are considered by them as two opposites, they treat, e.g. , blindness and sight, death and life, in the same way as heat and cold. Therefore they say, without any qualification, non-existence does not require any agent, an agent is required when something is produced.

• 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.

• Pues los elementos tienen la propiedad de volver a su lugar en línea recta, pero no tienen propiedades que les hagan permanecer donde están o moverse de otro modo que no sea en línea recta. Los movimientos rectilíneos de estos cuatro elementos cuando vuelven a su lugar original son de dos clases, o centrífugos, es decir, el movimiento del aire y el fuego; o centrípedos, es decir, el movimiento de la tierra y el agua; y cuando los elementos han llegado a su lugar original, permanecen en reposo.
