More quotes by Rabindranath Tagore
We do not stray out of all words into the ever silent We do not raise our hands to the void for things beyond hope.
Rabindranath Tagore
On each race is laid the duty to keep alight its own lamp of mind as its part in the illumination of the world. To break the lamp of any people into deprive it of its rightful place in the world festival.
Rabindranath Tagore
Who are you, a hundred years from today, reading my poetry with curiosity?
Rabindranath Tagore
God is neither manifest nor hidden He is neither revealed nor unrevealed there are no words to tell that which He is. He is without form, without quality, without decay.
Rabindranath Tagore
The song I came to sing remains unsung to this day. I have spent my days in stringing and in unstringing my instrument. The time has not come true, the words have not been rightly set only there is the agony of wishing in my heart . . .
Rabindranath Tagore
The water in a vessel is sparkling the water in the sea is dark. The small truth has words which are clear the great truth has great silence.
Rabindranath Tagore
For every child that is born, it brings with it the hope that God is not yet disappointed with man.
Rabindranath Tagore
Languages are jealous sovereigns, and passports are rarely allowed for travellers to cross their strictly guarded borders.
Rabindranath Tagore
A teacher can never truly teach unless he is still learning himself. A lamp can never light another lamp unless it continues to burn its own flame. The teacher who has come to the end of his subject, who has no living traffic with his knowledge but merely repeats his lesson to his students, can only load their minds, he cannot quicken them.
Rabindranath Tagore
To be outspoken is easy when you do not wait to speak the complete truth.
Rabindranath Tagore
What is Art? It is the response of man's creative soul to the call of the Real.
Rabindranath Tagore
Memory, the priestess, kills the present and offers its heart to the shrine of the dead past.
Rabindranath Tagore
Boasting is only a masked shame it does not truly believe in itself.
Rabindranath Tagore
that which is eternal within the moment only becomes shallow if spread out in time.
Rabindranath Tagore
When you have once taken up a responsibility, you must see it through.
Rabindranath Tagore
Those who in this world have the courage to try and solve in their own lives new problems of life, are the ones who raise society to greatness.
Rabindranath Tagore
Truth looks tawdry when she is overdressed.
Rabindranath Tagore
He who wants to do good knocks at the gate: he who loves finds the door open.
Rabindranath Tagore
The danger inherent in all force grows stronger when it is likely to gain success, for then it becomes temptation.
Rabindranath Tagore
It sometimes strikes me how immensely fortunate I am that each day should take its place in my life, either reddened with the rising and setting sun, or refreshingly cool with deep, dark clouds, or blooming like a white flower in the moonlight. What untold wealth!
Rabindranath Tagore
