More quotes by 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
If life's journey be endless where is its goal? The answer is, it is everywhere. We are in a palace which has no end, but which we have reached. By exploring it and extending our relationship with it we are ever making it more and more our own.
Rabindranath Tagore
Let life be beautiful like summer flowers and death like autumn leaves.
Rabindranath Tagore
The water vessel, taken as a vessel only, raises the question, Why does it exist at all? Through its fitness of construction, it offers the apology for its existence. But where it is a work of beauty it has no question to answer it has nothing to do, but to be.
Rabindranath Tagore
The question and the cry 'Oh, where?' melt into tears of a thousand streams and deluge the world with the flood of the assurance 'I am!'
Rabindranath Tagore
My dearest life, I know you are not mine forever but do love me even if it’s for this moment. After that I shall vanish into the forest where you cast me, I won’t ask anyone for anything again. Give me something that can last me till I die.
Rabindranath Tagore
Ah, thou hast made my heart captive in the endless meshes of thy music, my master!
Rabindranath Tagore
The best kind of wealth is to give up inordinate desires.
Rabindranath Tagore
The stars are not afraid to appear like fireflies.
Rabindranath Tagore
A mind all logic is like a knife all blade. It makes the hand bleed that uses it.
Rabindranath Tagore
Inspiration follows aspiration.
Rabindranath Tagore
Everything comes to us that belongs to us if we create the capacity to receive it.
Rabindranath Tagore
Love's gift cannot be given, it waits to be accepted.
Rabindranath Tagore
Dark clouds become heaven's flowers when kissed by light.
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
The night kissed the fading day With a whisper: I am death, your mother, From me you will get new birth.
Rabindranath Tagore
These paper boats of mine are meant to dance on the ripples of hours, and not reach any destination.
Rabindranath Tagore
The most important lesson that man can learn from life, is not that there is pain in this world, but that it is possible for him to transmute it into joy.
Rabindranath Tagore
Our scientific world is our world of reasoning. It has its greatness and uses and attractions. We are ready to pay homage due to it. But when it claims to have discovered the real world for us and laughs at the worlds of all simple-minded men, then we must say it is like a general grown intoxicated with his power, usurping the throne of his king
Rabindranath Tagore
God seeks comrades and claims love, The devil seeks slaves and claims obedience.
Rabindranath Tagore
