These paper boats of mine are meant to dance on the ripples of hours, and not reach any destination.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
Love gives beauty to everything it touches.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
Perhaps the crescent moon smiles in doubt at being told that it is a fragment awaiting perfection.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
... 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
Image
Beauty is truth's smile when she beholds her own face in a perfect mirror.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
Love's over brimming mystery joins death and life. It has filled my cup of pain with joy.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
He alone may chastise who loves.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
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
Image
The tyrant claims freedom to kill freedom, and yet keep it for himself.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
A thorn can only be extracted if you know where it is.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
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
Image
The music of the far-away summer flutters around the Autumn seeking its former nest.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
for we women are not only the deities of the household fire, but the flame of the soul itself.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
By touching you may kill, by keeping away you may possess.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
If you shut your door to all errors truth will be shut out.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I leave no trace of wings in the air, but I am glad I have had my flight.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
Only in love are unity and duality not in conflict.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
Whenever our life is stirred by truth, it expresses energy and comes to be filled, as it were, with a creative ardor. This consciousness of the creative urge is evidence of the force of truth on our mind.
Rabindranath Tagore
