MULLER, Friedrich Max Quotes

(1823-1900), German-English orientalist

Christian

Every occupation, plan, and work of man, to be truly successful, must be done under the direction of Christ, in union with his will, from love to him, and in dependence on his power.

Christianity

Christianity is a missionary religion, converting, advancing, aggressive, encompassing the world; a non-missionary church is in the bands of death.

Immortality

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

Language

What would the science of language be without missions.

Philosophy

Philosophy has been called the knowledge of our knowledge; it might more truly be called the knowledge of our ignorance, or in the language of Kant, the knowledge of the limits of our knowledge.

Procrastination
