More quotes by Max Muller

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
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

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
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
It is the heart that makes the critic, not the nose.
Max Muller
The wise who control their body, who control their tongue, the wise who control their mind, are indeed well controlled.
Max Muller
Samskrit is the greatest language of the world.
Max Muller
Of these years nought remains in memory but the sad feeling that we have advanced and only grown older.
Max Muller
The gospel is the fulfillment of all hopes, the perfection of all philosophy, the interpretation of all revelation, the key to all the seeming contradictions of the physical and moral world.
Max Muller
The morning hour has gold at the mouth.
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
There is no book in the world that is so thrilling, stirring and inspiring as the Upanishads.
Max Muller
