Rabindranath Tagore
Image
Life's aspirations come in the guise of children.
Rabindranath Tagore

Man is a rough-hewn and woman a finished product.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
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
Image
My debts are large, my failures great, my shame secret and heavy yet I come to ask for my good, I quake in fear lest my prayer be granted.

Discipline divorced from wisdom is not true discipline, but merely the meaningless following of custom, which is only a disguise for stupidity.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
In the drowsy dark cave of the mind dreams build their nest with fragments dropped from day's caravan.

Love is not a mere impulse, it must contain truth, which is law.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
To be outspoken is easy when you do not wait to speak the complete truth.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
When we rejoice in our fullness, then we can part with our fruits with joy.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
The smile that flickers on a baby’s lips when he sleeps- does anyone know where it was born? Yes, there is a rumor that a young pale beam of a crescent moon touched the edge of a vanishing autumn cloud, and there the smile was first born in the dream of a dew-washed morning.
Rabindranath Tagore

A thorn can only be extracted if you know where it is.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
If God had so wished, he would have made all Indians speak with one language ... the unity of India has been and shall always be a unity in diversity.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
Life, like a child, laughs, shaking its rattle of death as it runs.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
When we accept any discipline for ourselves, we try to avoid everything except that which is necessary for our purpose it is this purposefulness, which belongs to the adult mind, that we force upon school children. We say, Never keep your mind aler.
