Rabindranath Tagore
-
From the solemn gloom of the temple children run out to sit in the dust, God watches them play and forgets the priest.
Rabindranath Tagore -
Don't limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time.
Rabindranath Tagore -
If you shed tears when you miss the sun, you also miss the stars.
Rabindranath Tagore -
Nirvana is not the blowing out of the candle. It is the extinguishing of the flame because day is come.
Rabindranath Tagore -
The spirit of rejection finds its support in the consciousness of separateness; the spirit of acceptance finds its base in the consciousness of unity.
Rabindranath Tagore -
You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water.
Rabindranath Tagore
-
I have become my own version of an optimist. If I can't make it through one door, I'll go through another door - or I'll make a door. Something terrific will come no matter how dark the present.
Rabindranath Tagore -
Art awakens a sense of real by establishing an intimate relationship between our inner being and the universe at large, bringing us a consciousness of deep joy.

Rabindranath Tagore -
Life is given to us, we earn it by giving it.
Rabindranath Tagore -
The tragedy of human life consists in our vain attempts to stretch the limits of things which can never become unlimited, to reach the infinite by absurdly adding to the rungs of the ladder of the finite.
Rabindranath Tagore -
Your idol is shattered in the dust to prove that God's dust is greater than your idol.
Rabindranath Tagore
-
The burden of the self is lightened with I laugh at myself.
Rabindranath Tagore -
There is a point where in the mystery of existence contradictions meet; where movement is not all movement and stillness is not all stillness; where the idea and the form, the within and the without, are united; where infinite becomes finite, yet not losing its infinity. If this meeting is dissolved, then things become unreal.
Rabindranath Tagore -
Let this be my last word, that I trust in thy love.
Rabindranath Tagore -
Man goes into the noisy crowd to drown his own clamour of silence.
Rabindranath Tagore -
Every difficulty slurred over will be a ghost to disturb your repose later on.
Rabindranath Tagore -
Please is frail like a dewdrop, while it laughs it dies. But sorrow is strong and abiding. Let sorrowful love wake in your eyes.
Rabindranath Tagore
-
Those who own much have much to fear.
Rabindranath Tagore -
When the heat and motion of blind impulses and passions distract it on all sides, we can neither give nor receive anything truly. But when we find our centre in our soul by the power of self-restraint, by the force that harmonizes all warring element
Rabindranath Tagore -
I've travelled all around the world to see the rivers and the mountains, and I've spent a lot of money. I have gone to great lengths, I have seen everything, but I forgot to see just outside my house a dewdrop on a little blade of grass, a dewdrop which reflects in its convexity the whole universe around you.
Rabindranath Tagore -
Reason tells us that creation never can be perfectly happy. So long as it is incomplete it must put up with imperfection and sorrow. It can only be perfect when it ceases to be creation, and is God. Do our prayers dare go so far?
