More quotes by Rabindranath Tagore
Jewel-Like the immortaldoes not boast of its length of yearsbut of the scintillating point of the moment.
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
Our scientific world is our world of reasoning. It has its greatness and uses and attractions. We are ready to pay homage due to it. But when it claims to have discovered the real world for us and laughs at the worlds of all simple-minded men, then we must say it is like a general grown intoxicated with his power, usurping the throne of his king
Rabindranath Tagore
Beauty is truth's smile when she beholds her own face in a perfect mirror.
Rabindranath Tagore
Power said to the world, You are mine. The world kept it prisoner on her throne. Love said to the world, I am thine. The world gave it the freedom of her house.
Rabindranath Tagore
The meaning of the living words that come out of the experiences of great hearts can never be exhausted by any one system of logical interpretation. They have to be endlessly explained by the commentaries of individual lives, and they gain an added mystery in each new revelation.
Rabindranath Tagore
I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.
Rabindranath Tagore
The false can never grow into truth by growing in power.
Rabindranath Tagore
Man's freedom is never in being saved from troubles, but it is the freedom to take trouble for his own good, to make the trouble an element in his joy.
Rabindranath Tagore
To find God, you must welcome everything.
Rabindranath Tagore
Power takes as ingratitude the writhing of its victims
Rabindranath Tagore
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.
Rabindranath Tagore
Man's abiding happiness is not in getting anything but in giving himself up to what is greater than himself, to ideas which are larger than his individual life, the idea of his country, of humanity, of God.
Rabindranath Tagore
I never give answers. I lead on from one question to another. That is my leadership.
Rabindranath Tagore
The child ever dwells in the mystery of ageless time,unobscured by the dust of history.
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
Love is not a mere impulse, it must contain truth, which is law.
Rabindranath Tagore
Beauty is simply reality seen with the eyes of love
Rabindranath Tagore
God seeks comrades and claims love, The devil seeks slaves and claims obedience.
Rabindranath Tagore
The danger inherent in all force grows stronger when it is likely to gain success, for then it becomes temptation.
Rabindranath Tagore
