Rabindranath Tagore

Trees are Earth's endless effort to speak to the listening heaven.

Life is given to us, we earn it by giving it.

Those who own much have much to fear.

Love is the only reality and it is not a mere sentiment. It is the ultimate truth that lies at the heart of creation.

From the solemn gloom of the temple children run out to sit in the dust, God watches them play and forgets the priest.

We live in the world when we love it.

What is Art? It is the response of man's creative soul to the call of the Real.

We come nearest to the great when we are great in humility.

Age considers; youth ventures.

Nirvana is not the blowing out of the candle. It is the extinguishing of the flame because day is come.

Love does not claim possession, but gives freedom.

Every child comes with the message that God is not yet discouraged of man.

Emancipation from the bondage of the soil is no freedom for the tree.

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.

We gain freedom when we have paid the full price.

I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.

If you shut the door to all errors, truth will be shut out.

Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.

He who is too busy doing good finds no time to be good.

Music fills the infinite between two souls.
