More quotes by Rabindranath Tagore
In desperate hope I go and search for her in all the corners of my house. I find her not. My house is small and what once has gone from it can never be regained. But infinite is thy mansion, my lord, and seeking her I have come to thy door.
Rabindranath Tagore
Do not linger to gather flowers to keep them, but walk on, for flowers will keep themselves blooming all your way.
Rabindranath Tagore
It's far better to make people angry than to make them ashamed.
Rabindranath Tagore
He who wants to do good knocks at the gate: he who loves finds the door open.
Rabindranath Tagore
The infinite being has assumed unto himself the mystery of finitude. And in him who is love the finite and the infinite are made one.
Rabindranath Tagore
The potentiality of perfection outweighs actual contradictions... Existence in itself is here to prove that it cannot be an evil.
Rabindranath Tagore
You smiled and talked to me of nothing and I felt that for this I had been waiting long.
Rabindranath Tagore
Memory, the priestess, kills the present and offers its heart to the shrine of the dead past.
Rabindranath Tagore
I will sit in the pupil of your eyes and that will carry your sight into the heart of the things
Rabindranath Tagore
Man is worse than an animal when he is an animal.
Rabindranath Tagore
The meaning of our self is not to be found in its separateness from God and others, but in the ceaseless realization of yoga, of union not on the side of the canvas where it is blank, but on the side where the picture is being painted.
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
The meaning of the living words that come out of the experiences of great hearts can never be exhausted by any one system of logical interpretation. They have to be endlessly explained by the commentaries of individual lives, and they gain an added mystery in each new revelation.
Rabindranath Tagore
The world speaks to me in colors, my soul answers in music.
Rabindranath Tagore
Love gives beauty to everything it touches.
Rabindranath Tagore
Let my thoughts come to you, when I am gone, like the afterglow of sunset at the margin of starry silence.
Rabindranath Tagore
These paper boats of mine are meant to dance on the ripples of hours, and not reach any destination.
Rabindranath Tagore
For every child that is born, it brings with it the hope that God is not yet disappointed with man.
Rabindranath Tagore
The night kissed the fading day With a whisper: I am death, your mother, From me you will get new birth.
Rabindranath Tagore
Death is not extinguishing the light it is only putting out the lamp because the dawn has come.
Rabindranath Tagore
