Rabindranath Tagore
O Woman, you are not merely the handiwork of God, but also of men these are ever endowing you with beauty from their own hearts ... You are one-half woman and one-half dream.

Rabindranath Tagore

Rabindranath Tagore
Where roads are made I lose my way.In the wide water, in the blue sky there is no line of a track.The pathway is hidden by the birds' wings, by the star-fires, by the flowers of the wayfaring seasons.And I ask my heart if its blood carries the wisdom of the unseen way.
Rabindranath Tagore
And, indeed, what little of beauty and peace is to be found in the societies of men is owing to the daily performance of small duties, not to big doings and fine talk.
Rabindranath Tagore
