More quotes by Rabindranath Tagore
Life finds its wealth by the claims of the world, and its worth by the claims of love.
Rabindranath Tagore
This I know... That often when I sang, and drummed, and danced, I found my eternity.
Rabindranath Tagore
Days are coloured bubbles that float upon the surface of fathomless nights.
Rabindranath Tagore
Who are you, a hundred years from today, reading my poetry with curiosity?
Rabindranath Tagore
My eyes have seen much, but they are not weary. My ears have heard much, but they thirst for more.
Rabindranath Tagore
The tyrant claims freedom to kill freedom, and yet keep it for himself.
Rabindranath Tagore
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
In desperate hope I go and search for her in all the corners of my house. I find her not. My house is small and what once has gone from it can never be regained. But infinite is thy mansion, my lord, and seeking her I have come to thy door.
Rabindranath Tagore
To be constantly changing one's plans isn't decision at all-it's indecision.
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
Power takes as ingratitude the writhing of its victims
Rabindranath Tagore
What is Art? It is the response of man's creative soul to the call of the Real.
Rabindranath Tagore
O master poet, I have sat down at thy feet. Only let me make my life simple and straight, like a flute of reed for thee to fill with music.
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 flower which is single need not envy the thorns that are numerous.
Rabindranath Tagore
Inspiration follows aspiration.
Rabindranath Tagore
One who has never known the turbulence of life, in whom the petals of the mysterious flower within have never opened such a one may seem happy, may seem a saint, his single track mind may impress the multitude with its power - but he is ill equipped for life's true adventure into the infinite.
Rabindranath Tagore
Great suffering brings with it the power of great endurance. When sorrow is deepest all the forces of patience and courage are banded together to do their duty. So while we are cowards before petty troubles, great sorrows make us brave by rousing our truer manhood.
Rabindranath Tagore
Death belongs to life as birth does The walk is in the raising of the foot as in the laying of it down
Rabindranath Tagore
God finds himself by creating.
Rabindranath Tagore
