Now it is established in the sciences that no knowledge is acquired save through the study of its causes and beginnings, if it has had causes and beginnings; nor completed except by knowledge of its accidents and accompanying essentials. 
Avicenna 

That whose existence is necessary must necessarily be one essence. 
Avicenna 

Therefore in medicine we ought to know the causes of sickness and health. 
Avicenna 

As to the mental essence, we find it in infants devoid of every mental form. 
Avicenna
