Einstein and Tagore

Do you remember Mike's faculty day presentation from Spring 2009? He started the presentation with this slide and this quote from Tagore.

Later in the presentation, he showed a slide with Albert Einstein and the same quote on a chalkboard. The slide is not real - it was created using www.txt2pic.com. While this slide is fiction, Einstein referencing Tagore may not be that far-fetched. As the photos below show, Einstein and Tagore met in July of 1930 in Kaputh, India.
