More quotes by 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
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
Bad deeds, and deeds hurtful to ourselves, are easy to do what is beneficial and good, that is very difficult to do.
Max Muller
Language is the Rubicon that divides man from beast.
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
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
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
The morning hour has gold at the mouth.
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
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
The wise who control their body, who control their tongue, the wise who control their mind, are indeed well controlled.
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
Childhood has its secrets and its mysteries but who can tell or who can explain them!
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
As a tree, even though it has been cut down, is firm so long as its root is safe, and grows again, thus, unless the feeders of thirst are destroyed, the pain (of life) will return again and again.
Max Muller
Samskrit is the greatest language of the world.
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
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
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
