Hyderabad, May 7: India is celebrating the birth anniversary of greatest poet, writer, philosopher and activist Rabindranath Tagore today.
This Nobel prize-winning celebrated poet and writer is an inseparable part of Indians’ lives. On Tagore’s birth anniversary (he was born on May 7, 1861), let’s remember his inspirational quotes.
- I slept and dreamt that life was a joy. I awoke and saw that life was a service. I acted, and behold, service was a joy.
- Faith is the bird that feels the light and sings when dawn is still dark.
- Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers but to be fearless in facing them.
- If you cry because the sun has gone out of your life, your tears will prevent you from seeing the stars.
- You cannot cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water.
- We come nearest to the great when we are great in humility.
- Reach high, for stars lie hidden in you. Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal.
- If I can’t make it through one door, I will go through another door, or I will make a door. Something terrific will come no matter how dark the present.
- Everything comes to us that belongs to us if we create the capacity to receive it.
- The butterfly counts not months but moments and has time enough.
