More quotes by 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
Languages are jealous sovereigns, and passports are rarely allowed for travellers to cross their strictly guarded borders.
Rabindranath Tagore
We try to realize the essential unity of the world with the conscious soul of man we learn to perceive the unity held together by the one Eternal Spirit, whose power creates the earth, the sky, and the stars, and at the same time irradiates our mind.
Rabindranath Tagore
Whatever character our theology may ascribe to him, in reality God is the infinite ideal of Man, towards whom men move in their collective growth, with whom they seek their union of love as individuals, in whom they find their ideal of father, friend and beloved.
Rabindranath Tagore
Be brave, right through, and leave for the unknown.
Rabindranath Tagore
Compliments win friends, honesty loses them.
Rabindranath Tagore
The stars are not afraid to appear like fireflies.
Rabindranath Tagore
... let us unite, not in spite of our differences, but through them. For differences can never be wiped away, and life would be so much the poorer without them. Let all human races keep their own personalities, and yet come together, not in a uniformity that is dead, but in a unity that is living.
Rabindranath Tagore
By touching you may kill, by keeping away you may possess.
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
Whatever we understand and enjoy in human products instantly becomes ours, wherever they might have their origin... Let me feel with unalloyed gladness that all the great glories of man are mine.
Rabindranath Tagore
Stray birds of summer come to my window to sing and fly away. And yellow leaves of autumn, which have no songs, flutter and fall there with a sigh.
Rabindranath Tagore
He alone may chastise who loves.
Rabindranath Tagore
Time is a wealth of change, but the clock in its parody makes it mere change and no wealth.
Rabindranath Tagore
He who wants to do good knocks at the gate: he who loves finds the door open.
Rabindranath Tagore
Perhaps the crescent moon smiles in doubt at being told that it is a fragment awaiting perfection.
Rabindranath Tagore
Poems On Time The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough. Time is a wealth of change, but the clock in its parody makes it mere change and no wealth. Let your life lightly dance on the edges of Time like dew on the tip of a leaf.
Rabindranath Tagore
God is neither manifest nor hidden He is neither revealed nor unrevealed there are no words to tell that which He is. He is without form, without quality, without decay.
Rabindranath Tagore
God, the Great Giver, can open the whole universe to our gaze in the narrow space of a single land.
Rabindranath Tagore
A mind all logic is like a knife all blade. It makes the hand bleed that uses it.
Rabindranath Tagore
