More quotes by Max Muller
The morning hour has gold at the mouth.
Max Muller
It is the heart that makes the critic, not the nose.
Max Muller
I was shortly again at the castle, and the Princess gave me her hand to kiss and then brought her children, the young princes and princesses, and we played together, as if we had known each other for years.
Max Muller
Not far from our house, and opposite the old church with the golden cross, stood a large building, even larger than the church, and having many towers.
Max Muller
There never was a false god, nor was there ever really a false religion, unless you call a child a false man.
Max Muller
To me this technical acceptation seems not applicable here, where we have to deal with the simplest moral precepts, and not with psychological niceties of Buddhist philosophy.
Max Muller
The first pages of memory are like the old family Bible. The first leaves are wholly faded and somewhat soiled with handling. But, when we turn further, and come to the chapters where Adam and Eve were banished from Paradise, then, all begins to grow clear and legible.
Max Muller
In the history of the world the Vedas fill a gap which no literary work in any other language could fill. I maintain that to everybody who cares for himself for his ancestors for his intellectual development a study of the Vedic literature is indeed indispensable.
Max Muller
In order to discover truth, we must be truthful ourselves, and must welcome those who point out our errors as heartily as those who approve and confirm our discoveries.
Max Muller
When the evil deed, after it has become known, brings sorrow to the fool, then it destroys his bright lot, nay, it cleaves his head.
Max Muller
Language is the Rubicon that divides man from beast.
Max Muller
Whoever knows it also knows that in love there is no More and no Less but that he who loves can only love with the whole heart, and with the whole soul with all his strength and with all his will.
Max Muller
What ought to be done is neglected, what ought not to be done is done the desires of unruly, thoughtless people are always increasing.
Max Muller
He who, by causing pain to others, wishes to obtain pleasure for himself, he, entangled in the bonds of hatred, will never be free from hatred.
Max Muller
The person who knows only one religion does not know any religion.
Max Muller
There is no book in the world that is so thrilling, stirring and inspiring as the Upanishads.
Max Muller
Of these years nought remains in memory but the sad feeling that we have advanced and only grown older.
Max Muller
If I were asked under what sky the human mind has most fully developed some of its choicest gifts, has most deeply pondered on the greatest problems of life, and has found solutions, I should point to India.
Max Muller
Samskrit is the greatest language of the world.
Max Muller
Would not the child's heart break in despair when the first cold storm of the world sweeps over it, if the warm sunlight of love from the eyes of mother and father did not shine upon him like the soft reflection of divine light and love?
Max Muller
