THE NP CHRONICLE : 7TH MAY

               The NP Chronicle 

                         7th May 

"Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;

Where knowledge is free;

Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;

Where words come out from the depth of truth;

Where tireless striving stretches its arms toward perfection;

Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;

Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action -

Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake."

                         -- Rabindranath Tagore in  _Gitanjali_ 

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

                         -- Rabindranath Tagore 

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

                         -- 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."

                         -- Rabindranath Tagore 

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

                         -- Rabindranath Tagore 

"Patriotism cannot be our final spiritual shelter; my refuge is humanity. I will not buy glass for the price of diamonds, and I will never allow patriotism to triumph over humanity as long as I live."

                         -- Rabindranath Tagore
