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
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
Samskrit is the greatest language of the world.
Max Muller
There is no book in the world that is so thrilling, stirring and inspiring as the Upanishads.
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
Self is the lord of self, who else could be the lord?.
Max Muller
Language is the Rubicon that divides man from beast.
Max Muller
It is the heart that makes the critic, not the nose.
