The morning hour has gold at the mouth.
Max Muller
Yes, now I understood for the first time that my soul was not so poor and empty as it had seemed to me, and that it had been only the sun that was lacking to open all its germs, and buds to the light.
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
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
Bad deeds, and deeds hurtful to ourselves, are easy to do what is beneficial and good, that is very difficult to do.
Max Muller

Max Muller
It is the heart that makes the critic, not the nose.
Max Muller

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
Childhood has its secrets and its mysteries but who can tell or who can explain them!
Max Muller
An evil deed is better left undone, for a man repents of it afterwards a good deed is better done, for having done it, one does not repent.
Max Muller
Samskrit is the greatest language of the world.
Max Muller
Thus one memory follows another until the waves dash together over our heads, and a deep sigh swells the breast, which warns us that we have forgotten to breathe in the midst of these pure thoughts.
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
He who, though dressed in fine apparel, exercises tranquillity, is quiet, subdued, restrained, chaste, and has ceased to find fault with all other beings, he indeed is an ascetic.
Max Muller
