Quotes By Rabindranath Tagore

Bravery ceases to be bravery at a certain point, and becomes mere foolhardiness.

Stray birds of summer come to my window to sing and fly away. And yellow leaves of autumn, which have no songs, flutter and fall there with a sigh.

Thou hast brought the distant near and made a brother of the stranger.

I leave no trace of wings in the air, but I am glad I have had my flight.

Life, like a child, laughs, shaking its rattle of death as it runs.

Music fills the infinite between two souls. This has been muffled by the mist of our daily habits.

Death belongs to life as birth does The walk is in the raising of the foot as in the laying of it down.

Our creation is the modification of relationship.

I sit at my window gazing The world passes by, nods to me And is gone.

I have spent many days stringing and unstringing my instrument while the song I came to sing remains unsung.

Not hammer-strokes, but dance of the water, sings the pebbles into perfection.

Never be afraid of the moments--thus sings the voice of the everlasting.

Oh my only friend, my best beloved, the gates are open in my house-do not pass by like a dream.

The mountain remains unmoved at its seeming defeat by the mist.

In the drowsy dark cave of the mind dreams build their nest with fragments dropped from day's caravan.

Leave out my name from the gift if it be a burden, but keep my song.

Days are coloured bubbles that float upon the surface of fathomless nights.

Death is turning out the lamp because the dawn has appeared.

My day is done, and I am like a boat drawn on the beach, listening to the dance-music of the tide in the evening.

In the world's audience hall, the simple blade of grass sits on the same carpet with the sunbeams, and the stars of midnight.
