More quotes by Rabindranath Tagore
I never give answers. I lead on from one question to another. That is my leadership.
Rabindranath Tagore
In the drowsy dark cave of the mind dreams build their nest with fragments dropped from day's caravan.
Rabindranath Tagore
I sit at my window gazing The world passes by, nods to me And is gone.
Rabindranath Tagore
These paper boats of mine are meant to dance on the ripples of hours, and not reach any destination.
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
No civilized society can thrive upon victims, whose humanity has been permanently mutilated.
Rabindranath Tagore
Your love keeps me afloat but will remain the anchor in my soul... I don't really have words to describe how romantic I find that. Your love is what keeps me going, but it's also the anchor that keeps me close to you. I love it!
Rabindranath Tagore
I do not love him because he is good, but because he is my child.
Rabindranath Tagore
Who are you, a hundred years from today, reading my poetry with curiosity?
Rabindranath Tagore
Where roads are made I lose my way.In the wide water, in the blue sky there is no line of a track.The pathway is hidden by the birds' wings, by the star-fires, by the flowers of the wayfaring seasons.And I ask my heart if its blood carries the wisdom of the unseen way.
Rabindranath Tagore
Other animals ran only when they had a reason, but the horse would run for no reason whatever, as if to run out of his own skin
Rabindranath Tagore
There is no next after you are dead and gone from your own world.
Rabindranath Tagore
The water in a vessel is sparkling the water in the sea is dark. The small truth has words which are clear the great truth has great silence.
Rabindranath Tagore
Wrong is wrong only when you are at liberty to choose.
Rabindranath Tagore
The child ever dwells in the mystery of ageless time,unobscured by the dust of history.
Rabindranath Tagore
If someone smells a flower and says he does not understand, the reply to him is: there is nothing to understand, it is only a scent. If he persists, saying: that I know, but what does it all mean? Then one has either to change the subject, or make it more abstruse by saying that the scent is the shape which the universal joy takes in the flower.
Rabindranath Tagore
Thou hast brought the distant near and made a brother of the stranger.
Rabindranath Tagore
Man is worse than an animal when he is an animal.
Rabindranath Tagore
This I know... That often when I sang, and drummed, and danced, I found my eternity.
Rabindranath Tagore
Saltwater heals, healing referring to its various forms tears, cleanses and heals the soul sweat, cleanses through labor the ocean, heals in all its forms.
Rabindranath Tagore
