Rabindranath Tagore

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

If you cry because the sun has gone out of your life, your tears will prevent you from seeing the stars.

Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers,
but to be fearless in facing them. Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain, but for the heart to conquer it.

You can’t cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water.

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

It is very simple to be happy, but it is very difficult to be simple.

Faith is the bird that feels the light and sings when the dawn is still dark.

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

Reach high, for stars lie hidden in you. Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal.
