Additional Rabindranath Tagore Quotes

“When old words die out on the tongue, new melodies break forth from the heart; and where the old tracks are lost, new country is revealed with its wonders.”

–Rabindranath Tagore [Gitanjali 37, 1912].

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high
Where knowledge is free
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments
By narrow domestic walls
Where words come out from the depth of truth
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way
Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit
Where the mind is led forward by thee
Into ever-widening thought and action
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.

–Rabindranath Tagore [Gitanjali, 1912].

Life’s errors cry for the merciful beauty
that can modulate their isolation
into a harmony with the whole.

–Rabindranath Tagore [Fireflies, 1928].
