Quotes by Max Müller

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 Müller

Hope

No one who has not examined patiently and honestly the other religions of the world can know what Christianity really is, or can join with such truth and sincerity in the words of St. Paul, "I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ."

— Max Müller

Truth

Without a belief in personal immortality, religion surely is like an arch resting on one pillar, like a bridge ending in an abyss.

— Max Müller

Wisdom

There will be and can be no rest till we admit, what cannot be denied, that there is in man a third faculty, which I call simply the faculty of apprehending the Infinite, not only in religion, but in all things; a power independent of sense and reason, a power in a certain sense contradicted by sense and reason; but yet, I suppose, a very real power, if we see how it has held its own from the beginning of the world—how neither sense nor reason has been able to overcome it, while it alone is able to overcome both reason and sense.
