More quotes by Max Muller
Samskrit is the greatest language of the world.
Max Muller
Self is the lord of self, who else could be the lord?.
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
Soon the child learns that there are strangers, and ceases to be a child.
Max Muller
Childhood has its secrets and its mysteries but who can tell or who can explain them!
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
Language is the Rubicon that divides man from beast.
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
How mankind defers from day to day the best it can do, and the most beautiful things it can enjoy, without thinking that every day may be the last one, and that lost time is lost eternity!
Max Muller
Of these years nought remains in memory but the sad feeling that we have advanced and only grown older.
Max Muller
The wise who control their body, who control their tongue, the wise who control their mind, are indeed well controlled.
Max Muller
It is the heart that makes the critic, not the nose.
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
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
I was so astonished that another had penetrated so deeply into the secrets of my soul, and that he knew what I did not know myself, that when I recovered from it he had already been long upon the street.
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 evil done by oneself, self-begotten, self-bred, crushes the foolish, as a diamond breaks a precious stone.
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
And then when all around grows dark, when we feel utterly alone, when all men right and left pass us by and know us not, a forgotten feeling rises in the breast.
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
