Discipline divorced from wisdom is not true discipline, but merely the meaningless following of custom, which is only a disguise for stupidity.

More quotes by 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
I'm lost in the middle of my birthday. I want my friends, their touch, with the earth's last love. I will take life's final offering, I will take the last human blessing.
Rabindranath Tagore
With begging and scrambling we find very little, but with being true to ourselves we find a great deal more.
Rabindranath Tagore
Leave out my name from the gift if it be a burden, but keep my song.
Rabindranath Tagore
Only in silence I find myself. Life in the city is so hectic that you lose the right perspective. It's important to know that our biggest resources are in our heart.
Rabindranath Tagore
When I go from hence, let this be my parting word, that what I have seen is unsurpassable.
Rabindranath Tagore
It sometimes strikes me how immensely fortunate I am that each day should take its place in my life, either reddened with the rising and setting sun, or refreshingly cool with deep, dark clouds, or blooming like a white flower in the moonlight. What untold wealth!
Rabindranath Tagore
One who has never known the turbulence of life, in whom the petals of the mysterious flower within have never opened such a one may seem happy, may seem a saint, his single track mind may impress the multitude with its power - but he is ill equipped for life's true adventure into the infinite.
Rabindranath Tagore
Love's gift cannot be given, it waits to be accepted.
Rabindranath Tagore
A mind all logic is like a knife all blade. It makes the hand bleed that uses it.
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
I leave no trace of wings in the air, but I am glad I have had my flight.
Rabindranath Tagore
Truth looks tawdry when she is overdressed.
Rabindranath Tagore
You smiled and talked to me of nothing and I felt that for this I had been waiting long.
Rabindranath Tagore
The newer people of this modern age are more eager to amass than to realize.
Rabindranath Tagore
Those who have everything but thee, my God, laugh at those who have nothing but thyself.
Rabindranath Tagore
The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough.
Rabindranath Tagore
Compliments win friends, honesty loses them.
Rabindranath Tagore
Who are you, a hundred years from today, reading my poetry with curiosity?
Rabindranath Tagore
He alone may chastise who loves.
Rabindranath Tagore
