Inspiring Words by Rabindranath Tagore

  • A mind all logic is like a knife all blade. It makes the hand bleed that uses it. 
  • Age considers; youth ventures. 
  • Beauty is truth's smile when she beholds her own face in a perfect mirror. 
  • Bigotry tries to keep truth safe in its hand with a grip that kills it. 
  • By plucking her petals, you do not gather the beauty of the flower.
  • Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky. 
  • Death is not extinguishing the light; it is only putting out the lamp because the dawn has come. 
  • Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance. 
  • Do not say, 'It is morning,' and dismiss it with a name of yesterday. See it for the first time as a newborn child that has no name. 
  • Don't limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time. 
  • Emancipation from the bondage of the soil is no freedom for the tree. 
  • Every child comes with the message that God is not yet discouraged of man. 
  • Every difficulty slurred over will be a ghost to disturb your repose later on. 
  • Everything comes to us that belongs to us if we create the capacity to receive it. 
  • Facts are many, but the truth is one. 
  • Faith is the bird that feels the light when the dawn is still dark. 
  • From the solemn gloom of the temple children run out to sit in the dust, God watches them play and forgets the priest. 
  • Gray hairs are signs of wisdom if you hold your tongue, speak and they are but hairs, as in the young. 
  • He who is too busy doing good finds no time to be good. 
  • I have become my own version of an optimist. If I can't make it through one door, I'll go through another door - or I'll make a door. Something terrific will come no matter how dark the present.
