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
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
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
Language is the Rubicon that divides man from beast.
Max Muller
The morning hour has gold at the mouth.
Max Muller
Childhood has its secrets and its mysteries but who can tell or who can explain them!
Max Muller
