Rabindranath Tagore Quotes
I Am Just Coming From My Visit To Japan, Where I Exhorted This Young Nation To Take Its Stand Upon The Higher Ideals Of Humanity And Never To Follow The West In Its Acceptance Of The Organized Selfishness Of Nationalism As Its Religion, Never To Gloat Upon The Feebleness Of Its Neighbours, Never To Be Unscrupulous In Its Behaviour To The Weak, Where It Can Be Gloriously Mean With Impunity, While Turning Its Right Cheek Of Brighter Humanity For The Kiss Of Admiration To Those Who Have The Power To Deal It A Blow. Some Of The Newspapers Praised My Utterances For Their Poetical Qualities, While Adding With A Leer That It Was The Poetry Of A Defeated People. I Felt They Were Right. Japan Had Been Taught In A Modern School The Lesson How To Become Powerful. The Schooling Is Done And She Must Enjoy The Fruits Of Her Lessons.
