More quotes by Rabindranath Tagore
Ah, thou hast made my heart captive in the endless meshes of thy music, my master!
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
A butterfly flitting from flower to flower ever remains mine, I lose the one that is netted by me.
Rabindranath Tagore
Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain but for the heart to conquer it.
Rabindranath Tagore
Life itself is a strange mixture. We have to take it as it is, try to understand it, and then to better it.
Rabindranath Tagore
Everything has sprung from immortal life and is vibrating with life, for life is immense!
Rabindranath Tagore
O Woman, you are not merely the handiwork of God, but also of men these are ever endowing you with beauty from their own hearts ... You are one-half woman and one-half dream.
Rabindranath Tagore
A lamp can only light another lamp when it continues to burn in its own flame.
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
Love is not a mere impulse, it must contain truth, which is law.
Rabindranath Tagore
We live in the world when we love it.
Rabindranath Tagore
Death is not extinguishing the light it is only putting out the lamp because the dawn has come.
Rabindranath Tagore
For man is by nature an artist.
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
Only those of tranquil minds, and none else, can attain abiding joy, by realizing within their souls the Being who manifests one essence in a multiplicity of forms.
Rabindranath Tagore
Religion, like poetry, is not a mere idea, it is expression. The self-expression of God is in the endless variety of creation and our attitude toward the Infinite Being must also in its expression have a variety of individuality ceaseless and unendi.
Rabindranath Tagore
Life's fulfillment finds constant obstacles in its path but those are necessary for the sake of its advance. The stream is saved from the sluggishness of its current by the perpetual opposition of the soil through which it must cut its way. The spirit of fight belongs to the genius of life.
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
Emancipation from the bondage of the soil is no freedom for the tree.
Rabindranath Tagore
Power takes as ingratitude the writhing of its victims
Rabindranath Tagore
