The Life of the Pious

by Abraham bar Hiyya

 

Those people of the the law who do not uphold the faith are not helped much by their learning.

Those separated unto God eat food they have, not to satisfy a desire for its good taste but to silence the pain of hunger, and they wrap themselves with any garment to protect the body against the cold without being concerned as to whether it is of wool or flax.

Any potentiality the actualization of which wisdom affirms must have already changed to actuality.

 

Excerpted from Studies in Pre-Tibbonian Terminology, Jewish Quarterly Review, New Series

The Cambridge Companion to
Medieval Jewish Philosophy,
by Daniel H. Frank
