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
There never was a false god, nor was there ever really a false religion, unless you call a child a false man.
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
I was shortly again at the castle, and the Princess gave me her hand to kiss and then brought her children, the young princes and princesses, and we played together, as if we had known each other for years.
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 evil done by oneself, self-begotten, self-bred, crushes the foolish, as a diamond breaks a precious stone.
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
Self is the lord of self, who else could be the lord?.
Max Muller
The morning hour has gold at the mouth.
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
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
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
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
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
Bad deeds, and deeds hurtful to ourselves, are easy to do what is beneficial and good, that is very difficult to do.
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
The person who knows only one religion does not know any religion.
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
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
