More quotes by Rabindranath Tagore
You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water.
Rabindranath Tagore
The tragedy of human life consists in our vain attempts to stretch the limits of things which can never become unlimited, to reach the infinite by absurdly adding to the rungs of the ladder of the finite.
Rabindranath Tagore
Let life be beautiful like summer flowers and death like autumn leaves.
Rabindranath Tagore
Languages are jealous sovereigns, and passports are rarely allowed for travellers to cross their strictly guarded borders.
Rabindranath Tagore
Don't limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time.
Rabindranath Tagore
The greatest distance in this World is not that between living and death, it is when I am just before you, and you don't know that I Love You.
Rabindranath Tagore
Love remains a secret even when spoken, for only a true lover truly knows that he is loved.
Rabindranath Tagore
Love's over brimming mystery joins death and life. It has filled my cup of pain with joy.
Rabindranath Tagore
If it is necessary to die in order to live like men, what harm in dying?
Rabindranath Tagore
The potentiality of perfection outweighs actual contradictions... Existence in itself is here to prove that it cannot be an evil.
Rabindranath Tagore
A butterfly flitting from flower to flower ever remains mine, I lose the one that is netted by me.
Rabindranath Tagore
I've travelled all around the world to see the rivers and the mountains, and I've spent a lot of money. I have gone to great lengths, I have seen everything, but I forgot to see just outside my house a dewdrop on a little blade of grass, a dewdrop which reflects in its convexity the whole universe around you.
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's gift cannot be given, it waits to be accepted.
Rabindranath Tagore
Power takes as ingratitude the writhing of its victims
Rabindranath Tagore
This little flute of a reed thou hast carried over hills and dales, and hast breathed through it melodies eternally new.
Rabindranath Tagore
He who is too busy doing good finds no time to be good.
Rabindranath Tagore
Death is turning out the lamp because the dawn has appeared.
Rabindranath Tagore
Power said to the world, You are mine. The world kept it prisoner on her throne. Love said to the world, I am thine. The world gave it the freedom of her house.
Rabindranath Tagore
He alone may chastise who loves.
Rabindranath Tagore
