I am starting a new thread, i.e. *'words of wisdom'*, with quotes
and sayings of the greatest leaders and livelihoods around the world.
Starting with Rabindranath Tagore. Your contribution is solicited.*
*- A mind all logic is like a knife all blade. It makes the hand bleed that
uses it.**
- By plucking her petals, you do not gather the beauty of the flower.
- Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.
- 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.
**- From the solemn gloom of the temple children run out to sit in the dust,
God watches them play and forgets the priest.
- I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was
service. I acted and behold, service was joy.
- Let us not pray to be sheltered from dangers but to be fearless when
facing them.
- Life is given to us, we earn it by giving it.
- To be outspoken is easy when you do not wait to speak the complete truth.
- We come nearest to the great when we are great in humility.
- Love does not claim possession, but gives freedom.
- **Love is the only reality and it is not a mere sentiment. It is the
ultimate truth that lies at the heart of creation.*
*-Rabindranath Tagore*
