The small wisdom is like water in a glass: clear, transparent, pure. The great wisdom is like the water in the sea: dark, mysterious, impenetrable.

More quotes by Rabindranath Tagore
Let my love like sunlight surround you and yet give you illumined freedom.
Rabindranath Tagore
You smiled and talked to me of nothing and I felt that for this I had been waiting long.
Rabindranath Tagore
Death is turning out the lamp because the dawn has appeared.
Rabindranath Tagore
Don't limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time.
Rabindranath Tagore
I sit at my window gazing The world passes by, nods to me And is gone.
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
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
The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough.
Rabindranath Tagore
God, the Great Giver, can open the whole universe to our gaze in the narrow space of a single land.
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
Oh my only friend, my best beloved, the gates are open in my house—do not pass by like a dream.
Rabindranath Tagore
The weak can be terrible because they try furiously to appear strong.
Rabindranath Tagore
Discipline divorced from wisdom is not true discipline, but merely the meaningless following of custom, which is only a disguise for stupidity.
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
Man is immortal therefore he must die endlessly. For life is a creative idea it can only find itself in changing forms
Rabindranath Tagore
A teacher can never truly teach unless he is still learning himself. A lamp can never light another lamp unless it continues to burn its own flame. The teacher who has come to the end of his subject, who has no living traffic with his knowledge but merely repeats his lesson to his students, can only load their minds, he cannot quicken them.
Rabindranath Tagore
YOU are the big drop of dew under the lotus leaf, I am the smaller one on its upper side,' said the dewdrop to the lake.
Rabindranath Tagore
God finds himself by creating.
Rabindranath Tagore
I am restless. I am athirst for faraway things. My soul goes out in a longing to touch the skirt of the dim distance. O Great Beyond, O the keen call of thy flute! I forget, I ever forget, that I have no wings to fly, that I am bound in this spot evermore.
Rabindranath Tagore
In the drowsy dark cave of the mind dreams build their nest with fragments dropped from day's caravan.
Rabindranath Tagore
