Rabindranath Tagore
You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water.
Rabindranath Tagore
You are invited to the festival of this world and your life is blessed.
Rabindranath Tagore
The water vessel, taken as a vessel only, raises the question, Why does it exist at all? Through its fitness of construction, it offers the apology for its existence. But where it is a work of beauty it has no question to answer it has nothing to do, but to be.
Rabindranath Tagore
