The potentiality of perfection outweighs actual contradictions... Existence in itself is here to prove that it cannot be an evil.

Rabindranath Tagore
Image
When the heat and motion of blind impulses and passions distract it on all sides, we can neither give nor receive anything truly. But when we find our centre in our soul by the power of self-restraint, by the force that harmonizes all warring element
Rabindranath Tagore

Death is turning out the lamp because the dawn has appeared.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
Do not linger to gather flowers to keep them, but walk on, for flowers will keep themselves blooming all your way.
Rabindranath Tagore

Death belongs to life as birth does The walk is in the raising of the foot as in the laying of it down
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
I will sit in the pupil of your eyes and that will carry your sight into the heart of the things
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
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
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
Poems On Love Love adorns itself it seeks to prove inward joy by outward beauty. Love does not claim possession, but gives freedom. Love is an endless mystery, for it has nothing else to explain it. Love's gift cannot be given, it waits to be accepted.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
I sit at my window gazing The world passes by, nods to me And is gone.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
Time is a wealth of change, but the clock in its parody makes it mere change and no wealth.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
Let life be beautiful like summer flowers and death like autumn leaves.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
Who are you, a hundred years from today, reading my poetry with curiosity?
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
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
Image
The problem is not how to wipe out all differences, but how to unite with all differences intact.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
The night kissed the fading day With a whisper: I am death, your mother, From me you will get new birth.
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
