Rabindranath Tagore

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

The same stream of life that runs through the world runs through my veins night and day in rhythmic measure. It is the same life that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth into numberless waves of flowers.

The lure of the distant and the difficult is deceptive. The great opportunity is where you are." – John Burroughs "You are invited to the festival of this world and your life is blessed.

A mind all logic is like a knife all blade. It makes the hand bleed that uses it.

We gain freedom when we have paid the full price...

The mountain remains unmoved at seeming defeat by the mist.

Truth comes as a conqueror only to those who have lost the art of receiving it as a friend.

Korzenie z ziemi nie domagają się nagrody za to, że obdarzają owocami gałęzie.

Cieszymy się, że jesteśmy na tym świecie; jesteśmy z nim związani niezliczonymi nićmi, które rozciągają się od ziemi do gwiazd.

Drzewa wznoszą się za oknem ku górze niczym pełne tęsknoty wołanie niemej ziemi.
