If I have to find the most classic, I personally like Tagore's Life is like Summer Flowers. Zheng Zhenduo's translation, especially the phrase "Life is like summer flowers and death is like autumn leaves", makes it very amazing.
Here are some excerpts from Tagore's classic quotations:
1. My eyes are raining for her, but my heart is holding an umbrella for her. This is love.
The world kissed me in pain and asked me to sing.
When you cry for missing the sun, you will miss the stars again.
We read the world wrong and say it deceives us.
Don't worry, the best things come when you least expect them to.
6.？ Never frown even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.
7. Your burden will be a gift, and your suffering will light your way.
8. You smiled slightly and said nothing to me. And I feel like I've been waiting for this for a long time.
9. The difference between friendship and love is that friendship means two people and the world, while love means that two people are the world.
10.？ There is no trace of wings in the sky, I have flown.
1 1. My heart is a bird in the wilderness, and I found its sky in your eyes.
12. Sometimes love is believed not because it is seen, but because it is believed.
13. The meaning of life is not what you leave behind. As long as you have experienced it, it is the greatest beauty. This is not incompetence, but detachment.
14. At the end of the day, when I stand in front of you, you will see my scar and know that I was injured and healed.
15. One night I burned all my memories, and since then my dreams have become transparent. One morning, I threw away all yesterday, and since then, my steps have become light.
16. The bird's wings are tied with gold, so it can no longer soar in the sky. Just walk past, don't linger to pick flowers for preservation, because the flowers will continue to bloom along the way.
17. Don't complain about the food when you have no appetite.
18.？ If you shut the door on all mistakes, the truth will be shut out.
19. Be sure to choose the enemy carefully, because you will find that you are more and more like the enemy.
20. The scabbard protects the sharpness of the knife, but is satisfied with its dullness.
2 1. People who love me all over the world try their best to hold me. Your love is not like this. Your love is much greater than theirs. You set me free.
22。 Silence is a virtue, but silence in front of the person you like is cowardice.
23. Those who only live by the rules are not making society progress, but making society survive.
24. Missing is a well-bred homing pigeon. No matter how long it flies, it can always fly back to its original place.
