Additional quotes by Friedrich Max Müller

Muller may have well felt the need to stress that "an ethnologist who speaks of an Aryan race, Aryan eyes and hair, and Aryan blood is as great a sinner as a linguist who speaks of a dolicocephalic dictionary or a brachycephalic grammar"; after all, it was he who had been a principal cause in such misconceptions through his earlier remarks on the common blood that the "English soldier" shared with the "dark Bengali".

आप सब वीरों में समृद्ध एवं सशक्त वीरवत्तम हैं। यत्र-तत्र सर्वत्र आपका स्तवगान होता रहता है। आप सभी अदितिसुत आदित्यों या देवताओं में अविजेय हैं। हे देव! आप हमें अपना मित्र बनाने की कृपा कीजिए।’ ‘शासक आदित्य ने इन नदियों को धरती पर प्रवाहित किया है। हे वरुण! वे आपकी आज्ञाकारी हैं। वे आपकी आज्ञा में रहती हुई निरन्तर प्रवाहित होती रहती हैं, वे कभी थकती नहीं और न अपने प्रवाह को ही कभी रोकती हैं। मानो उड़ती जा रही हों।

दरिद्र व्यक्ति सम्पन्न व्यक्ति से श्रेष्ठ रोटी खाता है : क्योंकि भूख से भोजन स्वादिष्ट होता है।
