Maimonides: "We Must Accept The Truth From Whatever Source It Comes"

Dear Elaine,

Thanks for your email.

Maimonides was perhaps the greatest Jewish scholar. 

In 2015, I made a pilgrimage to his birthplace in Córdoba, Andalucia, Spain. 

Here's his Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maimonides

And here is his Wikiquote page: https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Maimonides

These are my favorite Maimonides quotations: 

"We must accept the truth from whatever source it comes."

"We are obligated to be more scrupulous in fulfilling the commandment of charity than any other positive commandment because charity is the sign of a righteous man."

Homo Sapiens' Ability To Deceive Itself: The Tea Party, The Freedom Caucus, "The Republican Clown Car/Shitshow/Dumpster Fire," Maimonides, Eric Hoffer, Wendell Berry. (...An Elaboration Of An Essay By History Professor Heather Cox Richardson)
