Other animals ran only when they had a reason, but the horse would run for no reason whatever, as if to run out of his own skin
Rabindranath TagoreIf I can't make it through one door, I'll go through another door- or i'll make a door. Something terrific will come no matter how dark the present.
Rabindranath TagoreIf you cry because the sun has gone out of your life, your tears will prevent you from seeing the stars.
Rabindranath TagoreMan's freedom is never in being saved from troubles, but it is the freedom to take trouble for his own good, to make the trouble an element in his joy.
Rabindranath TagoreA teacher can never truly teach unless he is still learning himself. A lamp can never light another lamp unless it continues to burn its own flame. The teacher who has come to the end of his subject, who has no living traffic with his knowledge but merely repeats his lesson to his students, can only load their minds, he cannot quicken them.
