More quotes by 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
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
The real frienship is like fluorescence, it shines better when everything has darken.
Rabindranath Tagore
Do not linger to gather flowers to keep them, but walk on, for flowers will keep themselves blooming all your way.
Rabindranath Tagore
When we rejoice in our fullness, then we can part with our fruits with joy.
Rabindranath Tagore
Time is a wealth of change, but the clock in its parody makes it mere change and no wealth.
Rabindranath Tagore
The flower fades and dies but he who wears the flower has not to mourn for it for ever.
Rabindranath Tagore
God seeks comrades and claims love, The devil seeks slaves and claims obedience.
Rabindranath Tagore
Ah, thou hast made my heart captive in the endless meshes of thy music, my master!
Rabindranath Tagore
Love's gift cannot be given, it waits to be accepted.
Rabindranath Tagore
For the current of our spiritual life creeds, rituals and channels that may thwart or help, according to their fixity or openness. When a symbol or spiritual idea becomes rigidly elaborate in its construction, it supplants the idea which it should support.
Rabindranath Tagore
Poems On Time The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough. Time is a wealth of change, but the clock in its parody makes it mere change and no wealth. Let your life lightly dance on the edges of Time like dew on the tip of a leaf.
Rabindranath Tagore
It's far better to make people angry than to make them ashamed.
Rabindranath Tagore
Perhaps the crescent moon smiles in doubt at being told that it is a fragment awaiting perfection.
Rabindranath Tagore
Overstraining is the enemy of accomplishment. Calm strength that arises from a deep and inexhaustible source is what brings success.
Rabindranath Tagore
Love is not a mere impulse, it must contain truth, which is law.
Rabindranath Tagore
Love's over brimming mystery joins death and life. It has filled my cup of pain with joy.
Rabindranath Tagore
The truth comes as conqueror only because we have lost the art of receiving it as guest.
Rabindranath Tagore
Once we dreamt that we were strangers. We wake up to find that we were dear to each other.
Rabindranath Tagore
Man goes into the noisy crowd to drown his own clamour of silence.
Rabindranath Tagore
