Rabindranath Tagore

Gray hairs are signs of wisdom if you hold your tongue, speak and they are but hairs, as in the young.

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.

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

Facts are many, but the truth is one.

Let your life lightly dance on the edges of Time like dew on the tip of a leaf.

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

The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough.

Music fills the infinite between two souls.

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.

Love is an endless mystery, for it has nothing else to explain it.

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

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

Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.

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

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.

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

Your idol is shattered in the dust to prove that God's dust is greater than your idol.

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