Rabindranath Tagore
The best kind of wealth is to give up inordinate desires.
Rabindranath Tagore
Whatever we understand and enjoy in human products instantly becomes ours, wherever they might have their origin... Let me feel with unalloyed gladness that all the great glories of man are mine.
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
The flower fades and dies but he who wears the flower has not to mourn for it for ever.
Rabindranath Tagore

Rabindranath Tagore
Man is worse than an animal when he is an animal.
Rabindranath Tagore
