More quotes by Rabindranath Tagore
Clouds come floating into my life from other days no longer to shed rain or usher storm but to give colour to my sunset sky.
Rabindranath Tagore
At the immortal touch of thy hands my little heart loses its limits in joy and gives birth to utterance ineffable.
Rabindranath Tagore
The song I came to sing remains unsung to this day. I have spent my days in stringing and in unstringing my instrument. The time has not come true, the words have not been rightly set only there is the agony of wishing in my heart . . .
Rabindranath Tagore
Wrong is wrong only when you are at liberty to choose.
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
The child learns so easily because he has a natural gift, but adults, because they are tyrants, ignore natural gifts and say that children must learn through the same process that they learned by. We insist upon forced mental feeding and our lessons
Rabindranath Tagore
Night's darkness is a bag that bursts with the gold of the dawn.
Rabindranath Tagore
I do not love him because he is good, but because he is my child.
Rabindranath Tagore
In the world's audience hall, the simple blade of grass sits on the same carpet with the sunbeams, and the stars of midnight.
Rabindranath Tagore
We are like newborn children, Our power is the power to grow.
Rabindranath Tagore
The progress of our soul is like a perfect poem. It has an infinite idea which, once realised, makes all movements full of meaning and joy.
Rabindranath Tagore
The meaning of the living words that come out of the experiences of great hearts can never be exhausted by any one system of logical interpretation. They have to be endlessly explained by the commentaries of individual lives, and they gain an added mystery in each new revelation.
Rabindranath Tagore
Ah, thou hast made my heart captive in the endless meshes of thy music, my master!
Rabindranath Tagore
Thou hast brought the distant near and made a brother of the stranger.
Rabindranath Tagore
I'm lost in the middle of my birthday. I want my friends, their touch, with the earth's last love. I will take life's final offering, I will take the last human blessing.
Rabindranath Tagore
Those who own much have much to fear.
Rabindranath Tagore
Man is a rough-hewn and woman a finished product.
Rabindranath Tagore
To be constantly changing one's plans isn't decision at all-it's indecision.
Rabindranath Tagore
By plucking her petals, you do not gather the beauty of the flower.
Rabindranath Tagore
A mind all logic is like a knife all blade. It makes the hand bleed that uses it.
Rabindranath Tagore
