Max Muller

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
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
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
Soon the child learns that there are strangers, and ceases to be a child.
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
There never was a false god, nor was there ever really a false religion, unless you call a child a false man.
Max Muller
