Quotes about Light by Rabindranath Tagore

  • Dark clouds become heaven's flowers when kissed by light.
  • A teacher can never truly teach unless he is still learning himself. A lamp can never light another lamp unless it continues to burn its own flame. The teacher who has come to the end of his subject, who has no living traffic with his knowledge but merely repeats his lesson to his students, can only load their minds, he cannot quicken them.
  • Faith is the bird that feels the light and sings when the dawn is still dark. In effect, the people who change our lives the most begin to sing to us while we are still in darkness. If we listen to their song, we will see the dawning of a new part of ourselves.
  • Faith is the bird that feels the light when the dawn is still dark.
  • My fancies are fireflies, specks of living light twinkling in the dark.
  • A lamp can only light another lamp when it continues to burn in its own flame.
