Rabindranath Tagore

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

Let us not pray to be sheltered from dangers but to be fearless when facing them.

Bigotry tries to keep truth safe in its hand with a grip that kills it.

Love is not a mere impulse, it must contain truth, which is law.

To be outspoken is easy when you do not wait to speak the complete truth.

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

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.

Beauty is truth's smile when she beholds her own face in a perfect mirror.

Facts are many, but the truth is one.

Religion is not a fractional thing that can be doled out in fixed weekly or daily measures as one among various subjects in the school syllabus. It is the truth of our complete being, the consciousness of our personal relationship with the infinite; it is the true center of gravity of our life. This we can attain during our childhood by daily living in a place where the truth of the spiritual world is not obscured by a crowd of necessities assuming artificial importance; where life is simple, surrounded by fullness of leisure, by ample space and pure air and profound peace of nature; and where men live with a perfect faith in the eternal life before them.

Those who own much have much to fear.

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

Don't limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time.

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.

Age considers youth ventures.

Music fills the infinite between two souls.

Death is not extinguishing the light it is only putting out the lamp because the dawn has come.

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