If you shed tears when you miss the sun, you also miss the stars. - Rabindranath Tagore

Where are those tears in your eyes, my child?
How horrid of them to be always scolding you for nothing!
You have stained your fingers and face with ink while writing-
is that why they call you dirty?
O, fie! Would they dare to call the full moon dirty because
it has smudged its face with ink?
For every little trifle they blame you, my child. They are
ready to find fault for nothing.
You tore your clothes while playing-is that why they call you
untidy?
O, fie! What would they call an autumn morning that smiles
through its ragged clouds?
Take no heed of what they say to you, my child.
They make a long list of your misdeeds.
Everybody knows how you love sweet things-is that why they
call you greedy?
O, fie! What then would they call us who love you?

We come nearest to the great when we are great in humility.

বিধাতার রাজ্যে ভালো জিনিস অল্প বলেই তা ভালো, নইলে সে নিজেরই ভিড়ের ঠেলায় হয়ে যেত মাঝারি।
