Quotes by Abu Yusuf al-Kindi  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“One must not be afraid of new ideas, no matter the source. And we must never fear the truth, even when it pains us.”
Al Kindi

“We ought not to be embarrassed of appreciating the truth and of obtaining it wherever it comes from, even if it comes from races distant and nations different from us. Nothing should be dearer to the seeker of truth than the truth itself, and there is no deterioration of the truth, nor belittling either of one who speaks it or conveys it.”
Al Kindi

“The noblest part of philosophy and the highest in rank is the First Philosophy, i.e., knowledge of the first truth, which is the cause of all truth. Therefore it is necessary that the most perfect and noble philosopher will be the man who fully understands this most noble knowledge; for the knowledge of the cause is more noble than the knowledge of the effect, since we have complete knowledge of every knowable, only when we have attained full knowledge of its cause.”
Al-Kindi
