More quotes by 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
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
When the heat and motion of blind impulses and passions distract it on all sides, we can neither give nor receive anything truly. But when we find our centre in our soul by the power of self-restraint, by the force that harmonizes all warring element
Rabindranath Tagore
If life's journey be endless where is its goal? The answer is, it is everywhere. We are in a palace which has no end, but which we have reached. By exploring it and extending our relationship with it we are ever making it more and more our own.
Rabindranath Tagore
Stray birds of summer come to my window to sing and fly away. And yellow leaves of autumn, which have no songs, flutter and fall there with a sigh.
Rabindranath Tagore
In the drowsy dark cave of the mind dreams build their nest with fragments dropped from day's caravan.
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
Some day I shall sing to thee in the sunrise of some other world, I have seen thee before in the light of the earth, in the love of man.
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
The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough.
Rabindranath Tagore
When I go from hence, let this be my parting word, that what I have seen is unsurpassable.
Rabindranath Tagore
This I know... That often when I sang, and drummed, and danced, I found my eternity.
Rabindranath Tagore
Other animals ran only when they had a reason, but the horse would run for no reason whatever, as if to run out of his own skin
Rabindranath Tagore
He alone may chastise who loves.
Rabindranath Tagore
for we women are not only the deities of the household fire, but the flame of the soul itself.
Rabindranath Tagore
Let my love like sunlight surround you and yet give you illumined freedom.
Rabindranath Tagore
Languages are jealous sovereigns, and passports are rarely allowed for travellers to cross their strictly guarded borders.
Rabindranath Tagore
God, the Great Giver, can open the whole universe to our gaze in the narrow space of a single land.
Rabindranath Tagore
Today I feel that I shall win through. I have come to the gateway of the simple I am now content to see things as they are. I have gained freedom myself I shall allow freedom to others. In my work will be my salvation.
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
