More quotes by Rabindranath Tagore
I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.
Rabindranath Tagore
A thorn can only be extracted if you know where it is.
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
The night kissed the fading day With a whisper: I am death, your mother, From me you will get new birth.
Rabindranath Tagore
Life is perpetually creative because it contains in itself that surplus which ever overflows the boundaries of the immediate time and space, restlessly pursuing its adventure of expression in the varied forms of self-realization.
Rabindranath Tagore
I do not love him because he is good, but because he is my child.
Rabindranath Tagore
While God waits for His temple to be built of love, men bring stones.
Rabindranath Tagore
No civilized society can thrive upon victims, whose humanity has been permanently mutilated.
Rabindranath Tagore
Overstraining is the enemy of accomplishment. Calm strength that arises from a deep and inexhaustible source is what brings success.
Rabindranath Tagore
He who is too busy doing good finds no time to be good.
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
My eyes have seen much, but they are not weary. My ears have heard much, but they thirst for more.
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
The false can never grow into truth by growing in power.
Rabindranath Tagore
The best kind of wealth is to give up inordinate desires.
Rabindranath Tagore
I will sit in the pupil of your eyes and that will carry your sight into the heart of the things
Rabindranath Tagore
Life finds its wealth by the claims of the world, and its worth by the claims of love.
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
Oh my only friend, my best beloved, the gates are open in my house—do not pass by like a dream.
Rabindranath Tagore
In the drowsy dark cave of the mind dreams build their nest with fragments dropped from day's caravan.
Rabindranath Tagore
