Rabindranath Tagore
Life's aspirations come in the guise of children.
Rabindranath Tagore
Memory, the priestess, kills the present and offers its heart to the shrine of the dead past.
Rabindranath Tagore
If you shut your door to all errors truth will be shut out.
Rabindranath Tagore
I ask my destiny - what power is this That cruelly drives me onward without rest? My destiny says, Look round! I turn back and see It is I myself that is ever pushing me from behind.
Rabindranath Tagore
If you want to know India, study Vivekananda. In him everything is positive and nothing negative.
Rabindranath Tagore
Great calm, generous detachment, selfless love, disinterested effort: these are what make for success in life. If you can find peace in yourself and can spread comfort around you, you will be happier than an empress.
Rabindranath Tagore
Those who draw their sustenance from science are blessed. It is for me to only derive an occasional pleasure. This is nothing worthy of conceit, but I am indeed touched by the joys. This book is an ode to such joys, a digest of my collections from various sources.
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
There is no next after you are dead and gone from your own world.
Rabindranath Tagore
My dearest life, I know you are not mine forever but do love me even if it’s for this moment. After that I shall vanish into the forest where you cast me, I won’t ask anyone for anything again. Give me something that can last me till I die.
Rabindranath Tagore
Let not the hours pass by in the dark. Kindle the lamp of love with thy life.
Rabindranath Tagore
Only in love are unity and duality not in conflict.
Rabindranath Tagore
The truth comes as conqueror only because we have lost the art of receiving it as guest.
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
He alone may chastise who loves.
Rabindranath Tagore
Oh my only friend, my best beloved, the gates are open in my house—do not pass by like a dream.
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
And joy is everywhere it is in the earth's green covering of grass in the blue serenity of the sky.
Rabindranath Tagore
We live in the world when we love it.
Rabindranath Tagore
