Rabindranath Tagore Quotes

Always take time to smell the flowers, and let it fill you with beauty, and rediscover that sense of wonder.

Arranging a bowl of flowers in the morning can give a sense of quiet in a crowded day - like writing a poem or saying a prayer.

Look up from what you're doing and look around for a minute. See what a beautiful world you're in.

I wake up some mornings and sit and have my coffee and look out at my beautiful garden, and I go, 'Remember how good this is. Because you can lose it.'

Many eyes go through the meadow, but few see the flowers in it

Around us, life bursts with miracles--a glass of water, a ray of sunshine, a leaf, a caterpillar, a flower, laughter, raindrops. If you live in awareness, it is easy to see miracles everywhere. Each human being is a multiplicity of miracles. Eyes that see thousands of colors, shapes, and forms; ears that hear a bee flying or a thunderclap; a brain that ponders a speck of dust as easily as the entire cosmos; a heart that beats in rhythm with the heartbeat of all beings. When we are tired and feel discouraged by life's daily struggles, we may not notice these miracles, but they are always there.

I always say that the times in my life when I've been happiest are the times when I've seen, like, a sunset.

In a meadow full of flowers, you cannot walk through and breathe those smells and see all those colors and remain angry. We have to support the beauty, the poetry, of life.

One of the things I associate with God is a sunrise. How many sunrises have you missed over the years, and God created that?

Life is the flower for which love is the honey.

Pay attention to the beauty surrounding you.

I love to sit on a mountain top and gaze. I don't think of anything but the people I care about and the view.

I am going to try to pay attention to the spring. I am going to look around at all the flowers, and look up at the hectic trees. I am going to close my eyes and listen.

I live in a landscape, which every single day of my life is enriching.

Give yourself a gift of five minutes of contemplation in awe of everything you see around you. Go outside and turn your attention to the many miracles around you. This five-minute-a-day regimen of appreciation and gratitude will help you to focus your life in awe.

Just living is not enough... one must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.

I don't want to wake up and not truly be enjoying my life and these amazing things around me.

I have lived pain, and my life can tell: I only deepen the wound of the world when I neglect to give thanks the heavy perfume of wild roses in early July and the song of crickets on summer humid nights and the rivers that run and the stars that rise and the rain that falls and all the good things that a good God gives.

Relax! Life is beautiful!

Wherever you go, man-made things are man-made, but you’ve got to get out and see God’s beauty of the world.

... I am more of an ambler. I once overheard my old boss in Dublin describe me as very "hello trees, hello flowers." It was intended as an insult and it fulfilled its brief; I was insulted. I had little interest in greeting trees and flowers but nor did I treat life as a treadmill, on which it was vital to keep fleeing forward in order to avoid being sucked off the back and out of the game.
