More quotes by 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
Love gives beauty to everything it touches.
Rabindranath Tagore
The movement of life has its rest in its own music.
Rabindranath Tagore
Life's fulfillment finds constant obstacles in its path but those are necessary for the sake of its advance. The stream is saved from the sluggishness of its current by the perpetual opposition of the soil through which it must cut its way. The spirit of fight belongs to the genius of life.
Rabindranath Tagore
The meaning of this is, that whomsoever we love, in him we find our own soul in the highest sense. The final truth of our existence lies in this. God, the Supreme Soul, is in me, as well as in my son, and my joy in my son is the realisation of this truth.
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
A mind all logic is like a knife all blade. It makes the hand bleed that uses it.
Rabindranath Tagore
Merely to exist is not enough.
Rabindranath Tagore
The most important lesson that man can learn from life, is not that there is pain in this world, but that it is possible for him to transmute it into joy.
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
Religion, like poetry, is not a mere idea, it is expression. The self-expression of God is in the endless variety of creation and our attitude toward the Infinite Being must also in its expression have a variety of individuality ceaseless and unendi.
Rabindranath Tagore
Death belongs to life as birth does The walk is in the raising of the foot as in the laying of it down
Rabindranath Tagore
Stray birds of summer come to my window to sing and fly away. And yellow leaves of autumn, which have no songs, flutter and fall there with a sigh.
Rabindranath Tagore
Love adorns itself it seeks to prove inward joy by outward beauty
Rabindranath Tagore
You are invited to the festival of this world and your life is blessed.
Rabindranath Tagore
While God waits for His temple to be built of love, men bring stones.
Rabindranath Tagore
Thou hast brought the distant near and made a brother of the stranger.
Rabindranath Tagore
From the solemn gloom of the temple children run out to sit in the dust, God watches them play and forgets the priest.
Rabindranath Tagore
Life, like a child, laughs, shaking its rattle of death as it runs.
Rabindranath Tagore
For every child that is born, it brings with it the hope that God is not yet disappointed with man.
Rabindranath Tagore
