Image
I leave no trace of wings in the air, but I am glad I have had my flight.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
Death is not extinguishing the light it is only putting out the lamp because the dawn has come.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
I am restless. I am athirst for faraway things. My soul goes out in a longing to touch the skirt of the dim distance. O Great Beyond, O the keen call of thy flute! I forget, I ever forget, that I have no wings to fly, that I am bound in this spot evermore.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
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
Image
The meaning of our self is not to be found in its separateness from God and others, but in the ceaseless realization of yoga, of union not on the side of the canvas where it is blank, but on the side where the picture is being painted.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
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
Image
Compliments win friends, honesty loses them.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
O Beauty, find thyself in love, not in the flattery of thy mirror.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
Oh my only friend, my best beloved, the gates are open in my house—do not pass by like a dream.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
The small wisdom is like water in a glass: clear, transparent, pure. The great wisdom is like the water in the sea: dark, mysterious, impenetrable.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
It's far better to make people angry than to make them ashamed.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
In Art, man reveals himself and not his objects.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
For every child that is born, it brings with it the hope that God is not yet disappointed with man.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
God seeks comrades and claims love, The devil seeks slaves and claims obedience.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
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
Image
In the world's audience hall, the simple blade of grass sits on the same carpet with the sunbeams, and the stars of midnight.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
This little flute of a reed thou hast carried over hills and dales, and hast breathed through it melodies eternally new.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
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
Image
Discipline divorced from wisdom is not true discipline, but merely the meaningless following of custom, which is only a disguise for stupidity.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
Who are you, a hundred years from today, reading my poetry with curiosity?
