Rabindranath Tagore Quotes and Poems

  1. The bird wishes it were a cloud. The cloud wishes it were a bird.
     
  2. The song that I came to sing remains unsung to this day.
    I have spent my days in stringing and in unstringing my instrument.
     
  3. Like a rain-cloud of July hung low with its burden of unshed showers
    let all my mind bend down at thy door in one salutation to thee.
     
  4. Pride can never approach to where thou walkest
    in the clothes of the humble among the poorest, and lowliest, and lost.
     
  5. In sorrow after sorrow it is his steps that press upon my heart,
    and it is the golden touch of his feet that makes my joy to shine.
     
  6. On the day when death will knock at thy door
    what wilt thou offer to him?
     
  7. My life when young was like a flower--
    a flower that loosens a petal or two from her abundance
    and never feels the loss when the spring breeze comes to beg at her door.
    Now at the end of youth my life is like a fruit,
    having nothing to spare, and waiting to offer herself completely
    with her full burden of sweetness.
     
  8. If you shut your door to all errors truth will be shut out.
     
  9. I will utter your name, sitting alone among the shadows of my silent thoughts.
    I will utter it without words, I will utter it without purpose.
    For I am like a child that calls its mother an hundred times,
    glad that it can say "Mother."
     
  10. We read the world wrong and say that it deceives us.
     
  11. THERE are sufferings about which the question comes to our mind whether we deserve them. We must frankly acknowledge that explanations are not offered to us. So it does not help us in the least to complain, let us rather be worthy of the challenge thrown to us by them. That we have been wounded is a fact which can be ignored, but that we have been brave is a truth of the highest importance. For the former belongs to the outer world of cause and effect, while the latter belongs to the world of spirit
     
  12. Asks the Possible to the Impossible, "Where is your dwelling place?"
    "In the dreams of the impotent," comes the answer.
     
  13. The false can never grow into truth by growing in power.
     
  14. You came down from your throne and stood at my cottage door.
    I was singing all alone in a corner, and the melody caught your ear.
    You came down and stood at my cottage door.
    Masters are many in your hall, and songs are sung there at all hours.
    But the simple carol of this novice struck at your love.
    One plaintive little strain mingled with the great music of the world,
    and with a flower for a prize you came down and stopped at my cottage door.
