More quotes by Rabindranath Tagore
From the grasses in the field to the stars in the sky, each one is doing just that and there is such profound peace and surpassing beauty in nature because none of these tries forcibly to transgress its limitations.
Rabindranath Tagore
Man is a rough-hewn and woman a finished product.
Rabindranath Tagore
Gray hairs are signs of wisdom if you hold your tongue, speak and they are but hairs, as in the young.
Rabindranath Tagore
In the drowsy dark cave of the mind dreams build their nest with fragments dropped from day's caravan.
Rabindranath Tagore
The song I came to sing remains unsung to this day. I have spent my days in stringing and in unstringing my instrument. The time has not come true, the words have not been rightly set only there is the agony of wishing in my heart . . .
Rabindranath Tagore
The flower which is single need not envy the thorns that are numerous.
Rabindranath Tagore
The potentiality of perfection outweighs actual contradictions... Existence in itself is here to prove that it cannot be an evil.
Rabindranath Tagore
We live in the world when we love it.
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
The world speaks to me in colors, my soul answers in music.
Rabindranath Tagore
Don't limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time.
Rabindranath Tagore
Wrong is wrong only when you are at liberty to choose.
Rabindranath Tagore
The tragedy of human life consists in our vain attempts to stretch the limits of things which can never become unlimited, to reach the infinite by absurdly adding to the rungs of the ladder of the finite.
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
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
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
God seeks comrades and claims love, The devil seeks slaves and claims obedience.
Rabindranath Tagore
The newer people of this modern age are more eager to amass than to realize.
Rabindranath Tagore
For every child that is born, it brings with it the hope that God is not yet disappointed with man.
Rabindranath Tagore
Overstraining is the enemy of accomplishment. Calm strength that arises from a deep and inexhaustible source is what brings success.
Rabindranath Tagore
