Friedrich Max Muller Quotes

«People praise earnestness; thoughtlessness is always blamed.»
«As a fish taken from his watery home and thrown on dry ground, our thought trembles all over in order to escape the dominion of the tempter.»
«Let the wise man guard his thoughts, for they are difficult to perceive, very artful, and they rush wherever they list: thoughts well guarded bring happiness.»
«Those who bridle their mind which travels far, moves about alone, is without a body, and hides in the chamber (of the heart), will be free from the bonds of the tempter.»
«If his peace of mind is troubled, his knowledge will never be perfect.»
«If a man's thoughts are not dissipated, if his mind is not perplexed, if he has ceased to think of good or evil, then there is no fear for him while he is watchful.»
«Knowing that this body is (fragile) like a jar, and making this thought firm like a fortress, one should attack the tempter with the weapon of knowledge, one should watch him when conquered, and should never rest.»
«Before long, alas! this body will lie on the earth, despised, without understanding, like a useless log.»
«Whatever a hater may do to a hater, or an enemy to an enemy, a wrongly-directed mind will do us greater mischief.»
«Not a mother, not a father will do so much, nor any other relative; a well-directed mind will do us greater service.»
