More quotes by Rabindranath Tagore

Image
If someone smells a flower and says he does not understand, the reply to him is: there is nothing to understand, it is only a scent. If he persists, saying: that I know, but what does it all mean? Then one has either to change the subject, or make it more abstruse by saying that the scent is the shape which the universal joy takes in the flower.
Rabindranath Tagore

Days are coloured bubbles that float upon the surface of fathomless nights.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
The greed for fruit misses the flower.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
In the mountain, stillness surges up to explore its own height In the lake, movement stands still to contemplate its own depth.
Rabindranath Tagore

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
Everything comes to us that belongs to us if we create the capacity to receive it.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
What is Art? It is the response of man's creative soul to the call of the Real.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
O master poet, I have sat down at thy feet. Only let me make my life simple and straight, like a flute of reed for thee to fill with music.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
By plucking her petals, you do not gather the beauty of the flower.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
When I go from hence, let this be my parting word, that what I have seen is unsurpassable.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
Life is perpetually creative because it contains in itself that surplus which ever overflows the boundaries of the immediate time and space, restlessly pursuing its adventure of expression in the varied forms of self-realization.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
We read the world wrong and say that it deceives us.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
The flower fades and dies but he who wears the flower has not to mourn for it for ever.
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
Image
Night's darkness is a bag that bursts with the gold of the dawn.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
Life, like a child, laughs, shaking its rattle of death as it runs.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
The music of the far-away summer flutters around the Autumn seeking its former nest.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
The tyrant claims freedom to kill freedom, and yet keep it for himself.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
The most important lesson that man can learn from life, is not that there is pain in this world, but that it is possible for him to transmute it into joy.
Rabindranath Tagore
