More quotes by Rabindranath Tagore
Art awakens a sense of real by establishing an intimate relationship between our inner being and the universe at large, bringing us a consciousness of deep joy.
Rabindranath Tagore
... let us unite, not in spite of our differences, but through them. For differences can never be wiped away, and life would be so much the poorer without them. Let all human races keep their own personalities, and yet come together, not in a uniformity that is dead, but in a unity that is living.
Rabindranath Tagore
Love does not claim possession, but gives freedom.
Rabindranath Tagore
Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain but for the heart to conquer it.
Rabindranath Tagore
The movement of life has its rest in its own music.
Rabindranath Tagore
I do not love him because he is good, but because he is my child.
Rabindranath Tagore
The music of the far-away summer flutters around the Autumn seeking its former nest.
Rabindranath Tagore
The infinite being has assumed unto himself the mystery of finitude. And in him who is love the finite and the infinite are made one.
Rabindranath Tagore
Memory, the priestess, kills the present and offers its heart to the shrine of the dead past.
Rabindranath Tagore
Compliments win friends, honesty loses them.
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
Perhaps the crescent moon smiles in doubt at being told that it is a fragment awaiting perfection.
Rabindranath Tagore
The song I came to sing remains unsung to this day. I have spent my days in stringing and in unstringing my instrument. The time has not come true, the words have not been rightly set only there is the agony of wishing in my heart . . .
Rabindranath Tagore
The false can never grow into truth by growing in power.
Rabindranath Tagore
The greed for fruit misses the flower.
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
When you have once taken up a responsibility, you must see it through.
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
If someone smells a flower and says he does not understand, the reply to him is: there is nothing to understand, it is only a scent. If he persists, saying: that I know, but what does it all mean? Then one has either to change the subject, or make it more abstruse by saying that the scent is the shape which the universal joy takes in the flower.
Rabindranath Tagore
Life, like a child, laughs, shaking its rattle of death as it runs.
Rabindranath Tagore
