More quotes by Rabindranath Tagore
Overstraining is the enemy of accomplishment. Calm strength that arises from a deep and inexhaustible source is what brings success.
Rabindranath Tagore
If you want to know India, study Vivekananda. In him everything is positive and nothing negative.
Rabindranath Tagore
Other animals ran only when they had a reason, but the horse would run for no reason whatever, as if to run out of his own skin
Rabindranath Tagore
I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.
Rabindranath Tagore
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
Only in love are unity and duality not in conflict.
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
Your love keeps me afloat but will remain the anchor in my soul... I don't really have words to describe how romantic I find that. Your love is what keeps me going, but it's also the anchor that keeps me close to you. I love it!
Rabindranath Tagore
Let the splendor of diamond, pearl and ruby vanish? Only let this one teardrop, this Taj Mahal, glisten spotlessly bright on the cheek of time, forever and ever.
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
Dark clouds become heaven's flowers when kissed by light.
Rabindranath Tagore
Man's abiding happiness is not in getting anything but in giving himself up to what is greater than himself, to ideas which are larger than his individual life, the idea of his country, of humanity, of God.
Rabindranath Tagore
We read the world wrong and say that it deceives us.
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
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
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
Boasting is only a masked shame it does not truly believe in itself.
Rabindranath Tagore
The potentiality of perfection outweighs actual contradictions... Existence in itself is here to prove that it cannot be an evil.
Rabindranath Tagore
Gray hairs are signs of wisdom if you hold your tongue, speak and they are but hairs, as in the young.
Rabindranath Tagore
In death the many become one in life the one become many.
Rabindranath Tagore
