More quotes by 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
Dark clouds become heaven's flowers when kissed by light.
Rabindranath Tagore
My heart, the bird of the wilderness, has found its sky in your eyes. They are the cradle of the morning, they are the kingdom of the stars. My songs are lost in their depths. Let me but soar in that sky, in its lonely immensity. Let me but cleave its clouds and spread wings in its sunshine.
Rabindranath Tagore
The stars are not afraid to appear like fireflies.
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
Let not the hours pass by in the dark. Kindle the lamp of love with thy life.
Rabindranath Tagore
The delights of sight and hearing and touch will bear thy delight.
Rabindranath Tagore
Man is a rough-hewn and woman a finished product.
Rabindranath Tagore
Do not linger to gather flowers to keep them, but walk on, for flowers will keep themselves blooming all your way.
Rabindranath Tagore
Whether joy or sorrow, pain or pleasure whatsoever may befall thee, accept it serenely with an unvanquished heart.
Rabindranath Tagore
When he has the power to see things detached from self-interest and from the insistent claims of the lust of the senses, then alone can he have the true vision of the beauty that is everywhere.
Rabindranath Tagore
The night kissed the fading day With a whisper: I am death, your mother, From me you will get new birth.
Rabindranath Tagore
And, indeed, what little of beauty and peace is to be found in the societies of men is owing to the daily performance of small duties, not to big doings and fine talk.
Rabindranath Tagore
Now it is time to sit quiet, face to face with thee, and to sing dedication of life in this silent and overflowing leisure.
Rabindranath Tagore
When I go from hence, let this be my parting word, that what I have seen is unsurpassable.
Rabindranath Tagore
By unrighteousness man prospers, gains what appears desirable, conquer enemies, but perishes a the root.
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
The water in a vessel is sparkling the water in the sea is dark. The small truth has words which are clear the great truth has great silence.
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
By touching you may kill, by keeping away you may possess.
Rabindranath Tagore
