Omar Khayyam catchphrases about love. Omar Khayyam about the relationship between a man and a woman. An excellent selection of immortal quotes from Omar Khayyam
The image of the great poet of the East Omar Khayyam is covered with legends, and his biography is full of secrets and mysteries. The ancient East knew Omar Khayyam primarily as an outstanding scientist: mathematician, physicist, astronomer, philosopher. In the modern world, Omar Khayyam is known more as a poet, the creator of original philosophical and lyrical quatrains - wise, full of humor, cunning and audacity rubai.
Rubai is one of the most complex genre forms of Tajik-Persian poetry. The volume of the rubaiyat is four lines, three of which (rarely four) rhyme with each other. Khayyam is an unsurpassed master of this genre. His rubies amaze with the accuracy of observations and the depth of comprehension of the world and the human soul, the brightness of images and the grace of rhythm.
Living in the religious east, Omar Khayyam reflects on God, but resolutely rejects all church dogmas. His irony and free-thinking are reflected in the rubaiyat. He was supported by many poets of his time, but because of the fear of persecution for freethinking and blasphemy, they also attributed their works to Khayyam.
Omar Khayyam is a humanist, for him a person and his peace of mind are above all. He appreciates the pleasure and joy of life, the enjoyment of every minute. And his style of presentation made it possible to express what could not be said out loud in plain text.
Life is forced upon us; her whirlpool
Stuns us, but one moment - and now
It's time to leave, not knowing the purpose of life ...
The arrival is meaningless, the meaningless departure!
Do not envy the one who is strong and rich,
Dawn is always followed by sunset.
Who was beaten by life, he will achieve more,
Having eaten a pood of salt, he appreciates honey more.
Who shed tears, he sincerely laughs,
Who died, he knows that he lives.
Everything is bought and sold
And life openly laughs at us.
We are angry, we are angry
But we sell and buy.
If you can, do not worry about the running time,
Do not burden your soul with the past or the future.
Spend your treasures while you are alive;
After all, all the same, in that world you will appear poor.
I only talk about mine:
That there are many different things in life, and in it
We must see all the colors of life and life,
So as not to be left with nothing.
I'm afraid that we won't get into this world again,
And there our friends - behind the coffin - we will not find.
Let's feast this moment while we live.
Perhaps a moment will pass - we will all be gone forever.
In this vicious circle - do not twist -
It will not be possible to find the end and the beginning.
Our role in this world is to come and go.
Who will tell us about the goal, about the meaning of the path?
One refrain from my wisdom:
LIFE IS SHORT - so give free rein to it;
It's smart to cut trees,
But cutting yourself off is much more stupid.
Do not mourn, mortal, yesterday's losses...
Don't measure today by tomorrow's yardstick...
Do not believe in the past or the future...
Believe the current minute - be happy now ...
The ocean of drops is great.
The mainland is made up of dust particles.
Your coming and going doesn't matter.
Just a fly flew in the window for a moment ...
I would compare the world to a chessboard
either day or night, and pawns we are with you.
Move quietly and beat
and put into a dark box to rest!
We come sinless - and we sin,
We come merry - and mourn.
We burn the heart with bitter tears
And we descend into dust, dispelling life like smoke.
God gives, God takes - that's the whole story for you.
What's what - remains a mystery to us.
How much to live, how much to drink - measured by eye,
and even then they strive not to top up every time.
Having seen the frailty of the world, wait a minute to grieve!
Believe me: it’s not for nothing that the heart is pounding in the chest.
Do not grieve about the past: what was, then swam.
Do not worry about the future: the fog is ahead ...
It is difficult to comprehend the plans of God, old man.
This sky has no top or bottom.
Sit in a secluded corner and be content with little:
If only the scene was at least a little visible!
Life will fly by like one moment
Appreciate it, take pleasure in it.
How you spend it - so it will pass,
Don't forget: she is your creation.
If the day has passed, do not remember it,
Do not groan in fear before the coming day,
Don't worry about the future and the past
Know the price of today's happiness!
Isn't it funny to save a penny for a whole century,
If you can't buy eternal life anyway?
This life was given to you, my dear, for a while, -
Try not to miss the time!
Do not be afraid of the machinations of time running,
Our troubles in the circle of existence are not eternal.
Spend the moment given to us in fun,
Do not cry about the past, do not fear the future.
We will leave without a trace - no names, no signs.
This world will stand still for thousands of years.
We weren't here before, and we won't be here after.
There is no harm or benefit from it.
You can't look into tomorrow today,
Just the thought of him makes my chest ache.
Who knows how many days you have left to live?
Don't waste them, be smart.
The wind of life is sometimes fierce.
On the whole life is good though...
And it's not scary when black bread
It's scary when a black soul...
Do not envy the one who is stronger and richer.
Sunset always comes with dawn.
With this life short, equal to a sigh,
Treat as with this one for rent.
Appreciate even the bitter days of life,
After all, they are gone forever.
Appreciate today, even if it is not enough.
Yesterday is gone, tomorrow is gone...
We will not come to this world again,
We won't find our friends again.
Hold on to the moment, because it will not happen again,
How can you not repeat yourself in it ...
Have you been rewarded? - Forget it!
Are the days slipping by? - Forget it!
Careless wind in the eternal book of life
Could move the wrong page!
It is known that in the world everything is just vanity of vanities:
Be cheerful, do not grieve, there is light on this.
What was, is past, what will be - is unknown, -
So don't worry about what's not there today.
Mahmoud Farshchian (c)
One does not understand what roses smell like ...
Another of the bitter herbs will produce honey ...
Give someone a trifle, forever remember ...
You will give your life to someone, but he will not understand ...
Dear friends! The wisdom of life from talented people is always interesting, and the wisdom of life from Omar Khayyam is doubly interesting. Persian poet, philosopher, astrologer, mathematician... Omar Khayyam is famous in the mathematical world for creating a classification of cubic equations, his calendar, created several centuries ago, surpasses the ancient Roman Julian calendar from an astronomical point of view, and the European Gregorian calendar in accuracy.
You can talk a lot about Omar Khayyam, and I may decide to tell a story about the biography of this extraordinary person, but today's post is about his literary heritage. Omar Khayyam has become famous in our time, first of all, as the author of the famous wise quatrains - reflections - rubaiyat. Rubaiyat - bright, emotional, written with brilliant wit, at the same time musical and lyrical - conquered the whole world. Most of the rubaiyat is meditation on the Qur'an. How many quatrains were written by the poet? Now there are about 1200. According to the Indian scientist, researcher of the poet Swami Govinda Tirtha, up to 2200 quatrains have survived in our time. In fact, no one knows how much was written in total, because for nine centuries many rubais have been lost forever.
Were there any wisdom of life from Omar Khayyam?
The controversy about the authorship of the "Rubaiyat" continues to this day. Someone believes that Omar Khayyam has no more than 400 original texts, someone else is stricter - only 66, and some scholars say - only 6 (those that were found in the most ancient manuscripts). Everything else, according to researchers of Khayyam's work, all these wise sayings and poems are the authorship of other people. Perhaps other people's quatrains were attached to the manuscripts that were passed down from generation to generation, whose authorship was not established. Someone wrote down their own rubies in the margins, and after centuries they were considered missing inserts and entered into the main text.
Osman Hamdy Bey (c)
Perhaps the most concise, daring, witty and elegant quatrains in all ages were attributed to Omar Khayyam. The search for reliable rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam is a hopeless task, since today it is difficult to establish the authorship of any quatrain. Therefore, let's trust the ancient and not very ancient manuscripts, let's read wise thoughts and find the quatrain to which our soul is responding at the moment. And then say thanks to the author (regardless of who he is) and the translator.
Osman Hamdy Bey (c)
Learn all the secrets of wisdom! - And there?…
Arrange the whole world in your own way! - And there?…
Live carelessly until a hundred years of happiness ...
You will miraculously last up to two hundred! ... - And there?
"Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam" from E. Fitzgerald
The wisdom of life from Omar Khayyam became known thanks to Edward Fitzgerald, who found a notebook with quatrains and translated them first into Latin, and then - in 1859 - into English.
These poems struck the English poet with their wisdom, deep philosophical overtones and at the same time lyricism and subtlety. “After several centuries, old Khayyam continues to ring like real metal,” said Edward Fitzgerald admiringly. Fitzgerald's translation was arbitrary, in order to connect the quatrains he made his own inserts, and as a result he created a poem similar to the tales of the Thousand and One Nights, the main character of which constantly feasts and periodically speaks the truth over an unchanging cup of wine.
Thanks to Fitzgerald, Omar Khayyam gained a reputation as a merry fellow, a joker who loves wine and calls to catch a moment of pleasure. But thanks to this poem, the whole world learned about the Persian poet, and aphorisms, poems, parables and other worldly wisdom were distributed in quotes throughout all countries. The most famous
To live life wisely, you need to know a lot,
Two important rules to remember to get started:
You'd rather starve than eat anything
And it's better to be alone than with just anyone.
The lower man soul, the higher nose up.
He reaches with his nose where his soul has not matured.
on the ear or on the tongue of many.
The appearance of the wise sayings of Omar Khayyam in Russia.
The first publication of Omar Khayyam in Russian appeared in 1891. The translator was the poet V.L. Velichko. He translated 52 quatrains. These were rather translations-paraphrases, since the poet did not set himself the task of reproducing the original. Only 5 sayings were made in the form of a quatrain.
In general, more than 40 names are known in Russia who translated Omar Khayyam. One of the most famous are the translations of V. Derzhavin, A.V. Starostin, G. Plisetsky, N. Strizhkov, G.S. Semenov. I specifically dwell on these names, because I give the quatrains below without indicating the name of the translator (I did not find it, alas). Perhaps it is these poets who are their authors. To date, more than 700 Khayyam rubaiyat have been translated.
We have already said that translations reflect the essence of the translator, because everyone contributes to the translation not only their talent, but also their understanding of the quatrain (by the way, I “fell ill” with the topic of the interlinear after, which simply stunned me with her conversation). Therefore, the same lines can be interpreted differently. I liked the comparative translation of this original text (interlinear) by Omar Khayyam.
Be cheerful, for there is no end to suffering
More than once the luminaries will converge in the heavens in one sign of the zodiac,
[representing the predestination of fate].
Bricks that will be fashioned from your ashes
They will smash into the wall of the house for other people
Mahmoud Farshchian (c)
Compare!
Translation by C. Guerra (1901):
Give in to joy! The pain will be forever!
Days will change: day - night, day - night again;
Earthly hours are all small and fleeting,
And soon you will leave us from here away.
You mix with the earth, with lumps of sticky clay,
And the bricks will be smeared with you at the stoves,
And they will build a palace for the base cattle,
And on that bookmark they will tell a series of speeches.
And your spirit, maybe a former shell
Back, to yourself again, it will be in vain to call!
So sing, have fun while they give a reprieve
And death has not yet come to visit you.
Translation by G. Plisetsky (1971):
Have some fun! The unhappy go crazy.
Eternal darkness shines with eternal stars.
How to get used to what is of thinking flesh
Bricks will be made and laid at home?
Unfortunately, I can not give (because of the blog format) another 13 varieties of this translation. Some rubaiyat have 1 translation, and some (the most popular) have up to 15!
But let's just read and enjoy these poetic lines, because we receive precious advice and guidance. Despite the fact that ten centuries separate his work from us, the wise thoughts of Omar Khayyam are still relevant and close to everyone. Indeed, in the quotes of Omar Khayyam about life, about love, about wisdom, the truth is revealed that all the people of the world are looking for. Despite the fact (and perhaps precisely because of the fact) that the statements of his poems are sometimes opposite and contradictory, his rubai conquer people of any age.
Osman Hamdy Bey (c)
The young, thanks to the wisdom of his poems, have the opportunity to avoid some mistakes. Young people who are just entering into a big life learn worldly wisdom, because the poems of Omar Khayyam give answers to different life situations. Elderly people, who have already seen a lot and are themselves able to give advice for all occasions, find rich food for thought in his quatrains. They can compare their life wisdom with the thoughts of an extraordinary person who lived a millennium ago.
Behind the lines, the searching and inquisitive personality of the poet is visible. He returns to the same thoughts throughout his life, revisiting them, discovering new possibilities or mysteries of life.
Osman Hamdy Bey (c)
For many years I pondered over earthly life.
There is nothing incomprehensible for me under the moon.
I know that I don't know anything,
Here is the last secret I have learned.
Quotes by Omar Khayyam are an opportunity to get away from the hustle and bustle and look into yourself. Even after a thousand years, the voice of Omar Khayyam carries a message of love, understanding of the transience of life and respect for every moment of it. Omar Khayyam gives advice on how to succeed in business, how to raise children, how to live in love and peace with your husband, how to build relationships with people around you. These tips are given beautifully, gracefully, and expressively. They conquer with their conciseness and depth of thought. Every moment of life is priceless, the poet never tires of reminding us.

Wisdom of life from Omar Khayyam
You say this life - one moment.
Appreciate it, draw inspiration from it.
As you spend it, so it will pass,
Don't forget: she is your creation.
***
Everything is bought and sold
And life openly laughs at us.
We are angry, we are angry
But we sell and buy.
***
Do not share your secret with people,
After all, you do not know which of them is mean.
How do you yourself deal with God's creation,
Expect the same from yourself and from people.
***
Don't let a scoundrel into secrets - hide them,
And keep secrets from the fool - hide them,
Look at yourself among the people passing by,
Keep silent about hopes to the end - hide them!
***
All that we see is only one appearance.
Far from the surface of the world to the bottom.
Consider the unimportant obvious in the world,
For the secret essence of things is not visible.
***
Changing rivers, countries, cities...
Other doors… New Years…
And we can't get away from ourselves,
And if you get away, only to nowhere.
***
Hell and heaven are in heaven, ”say the bigots.
I, looking into myself, was convinced of a lie:
Hell and heaven are not circles in the palace of the universe,
Hell and heaven are the two halves of the soul.
***
Mahmoud Farshchian (c)
We do not know if life will last until the morning ...
So hasten to sow the seeds of goodness!
And take care of love in a perishable world for friends
Every moment is more precious than gold and silver.
***
We went to look for You - and became an evil crowd:
And the beggar, and the rich man, and the generous, and the stingy.
You talk to everyone, none of us hears.
You appear before everyone, any of us is blind.
***
The sky is the belt of my ruined life,
The tears of the fallen are the salty waves of the seas.
Paradise is blissful rest after passionate effort,
Hellfire is just a reflection of extinguished passions.
***

Omar Khayyam in Russian translated poetry
(Z. N. Vorozheikina, A. Sh. Shakhverdov)
Antipyretics for children are prescribed by a pediatrician. But there are emergency situations for fever when the child needs to be given medicine immediately. Then the parents take responsibility and use antipyretic drugs. What is allowed to give to infants? How can you bring down the temperature in older children? What medicines are the safest?
Why do you expect benefit from your wisdom?
You will soon wait for milk from the goat.
Pretend to be a fool - and it will be more useful,
And wisdom these days is cheaper than leeks.
Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
Noble people, loving each other,
They see the grief of others, they forget themselves.
If you desire the honor and brilliance of mirrors, -
Do not envy others, and they will love you.
Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
Nobility and meanness, courage and fear -
Everything is built into our bodies from birth.
We will not get better or worse until we die.
We are who God made us!
Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
Brother, do not demand riches - they are not enough for everyone.
Do not look with the gloating of a saint on sin.
There is a God over mortals. What's up with the neighbor
Then there are even more holes in your dressing gown.
Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
Don't look to the future
Be glad for a moment of happiness today.
After all, tomorrow, friend, we will be considered death
With the departed seven thousand years ago.
Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
You will be in the company of proud learned donkeys,
Try to pretend to be a donkey without words,
For everyone who is not an ass, these fools
Accused immediately of undermining the foundations.
Giyasaddin Abu-l-Fath Omar ibn Ibrahim al-Khayyam Nishapuri is the full name of the person who is better known to us as Omar Khayyam.
This Persian poet, mathematician, philosopher, astrologer, astronomer is known throughout the world for his quatrains "rubai", which delight with their wisdom, cunning, audacity and humor. His poems are simply a storehouse of the eternal wisdom of life, which were relevant during the life of the poet (1048 - 1131), and have not lost their relevance today. We invite you to read poetry and Omar Khayyam quotes and enjoy their content.
Having endured hardships, you will become a free bird.
And the drop will become a pearl in the pearl-dungeon.
Give away your wealth and it will come back to you.
If the cup is empty, they will give you a drink.
Only those who are worse than us think badly of us,
and those who are better than us ... They are simply not up to us
Hell and heaven in heaven claim bigots;
I looked into myself - I was convinced of a lie.
Hell and heaven are not circles in the palace of the universe;
Hell and heaven are two halves of the soul.
If you become a slave to base lust, -
You will be empty in old age, like an abandoned house.
Look at yourself and think about
Who are you, where are you and - where then?
We are a source of fun - and a mine of sorrow,
We are a reservoir of filth - and a pure spring.
Man, as if in a mirror, the world has many faces.
He is insignificant - and he is immensely great!
Life is forced upon us; her whirlpool
Stuns us, but one moment - and now
It's time to leave, not knowing the purpose of life ...
The arrival is meaningless, the meaningless departure!
Dawn is always followed by sunset.
With this life short, equal to a sigh,
Treat as with this one for rent.
Who was beaten by life, he will achieve more,
Having eaten a pood of salt, he appreciates honey more.
Who shed tears, he sincerely laughs,
Who died, he knows that he lives.
Everything is bought and sold
And life openly laughs at us.
We are angry, we are angry
But we sell and buy.
If you can, do not worry about the running time,
Do not burden your soul with the past or the future.
Spend your treasures while you are alive;
After all, all the same, in that world you will appear poor.
Omar Khayyam was a great man! Always admired his deep knowledge of the human soul! His words are relevant to this day! Looks like people haven't changed much since then!
The scientist wrote his rubai all his life. He drank little wine, but describes his great wisdom. We do not know anything about his personal life either, but he subtly describes love.
The wise sayings of Omar Khayyam make us forget about all the fuss and at least for a moment think about great values. We offer you the best Omar Khayyam quotes about love and life:
About life
1. One does not understand what roses smell like. Another of the bitter herbs will produce honey. Give someone a trifle, forever remember. You will give your life to someone, but he will not understand.
2. Whoever is beaten by life will achieve more. A pood of salt who has eaten appreciates honey more. Who sheds tears, he sincerely laughs. Who died, he knows that he lives!
3. The lower the soul of a person, the higher the nose turns up. He reaches with his nose where his soul has not matured.
4. Two people were looking at the same window. One saw rain and mud. The other is green foliage, spring and blue sky.
5. How often, making mistakes in life, we lose those we value. Trying to please strangers, sometimes we run from our neighbor.
We lift up those who are not worth us, but we betray the most faithful. Who loves us so much, we offend, and we ourselves are waiting for an apology.
6. We are a mine of joy and sorrow. We are a reservoir of filth and a pure spring. Man, as if in a mirror, the world has many faces. He is insignificant and he is immensely great!
7. We will never get into this world again, we will never meet friends at the table. Catch every flying moment - you can never lie in wait for it later.
8. With this short life, equal to a breath. Treat as with this one for rent.
9. Do not envy the one who is strong and rich, sunset always follows the dawn.
About love
10. Giving yourself does not mean selling. And next to sleep - does not mean to sleep. Not to take revenge does not mean to forgive everything. Not to be near does not mean not to love!
11. Woe, woe to the heart, where there is no burning passion. Where there is no love of torment, where there are no dreams of happiness. A day without love is lost: dimmer and grayer than this barren day, and there are no days of bad weather.
12. In order to live life wisely, you need to know a lot. Remember two important rules to start with: you'd rather starve than eat anything, and it's better to be alone than with anyone.
13. In a loved one, even flaws are liked, and in an unloved person, even virtues annoy.
14. You can seduce a man who has a wife, you can seduce a man who has a mistress, but you cannot seduce a man who has a beloved woman.
15. A plucked flower should be presented, a poem begun should be completed, and the beloved woman should be happy, otherwise it was not worth taking on something that is beyond your power.
Life will fly by like one moment
Appreciate her, take pleasure in her.
How you spend it - so it will pass,
Don't forget: she is your creation.
Do not forget that you are not alone: in the most difficult moments, God is with you
The fact that God once measured us, friends,
You can't increase it and you can't decrease it.
Trying to make the most of the cash
Don’t worry about someone else’s, don’t ask for a loan.
You don’t even notice that your dreams come true, everything is always not enough for you!
Life is a desert, we wander naked through it.
Mortal, full of pride, you are simply ridiculous!
You find a reason for every step -
Meanwhile, it has long been predetermined in heaven.
I would blind my life from the smartest deeds
There he did not think of it, here he did not succeed at all.
But Time - here we have a quick teacher!
As a cuff will give you a little wiser.
I have absolutely nothing upsets and surprises.
Everything is fine in any case.
Know that the main source of being is love.
It is difficult to comprehend the plans of God, old man.
This sky has no top or bottom.
Sit in a secluded corner and be content with little:
If only the scene was at least a little visible!
Those who did not seek the path are unlikely to be shown the path -
Knock and the door to destiny will open!

Aphorisms of Omar Khayyam occupies an important place in world literature not by accident.
After all, everyone knows this outstanding sage of antiquity. However, not everyone realizes that Omar Khayyam was, among other things, an outstanding mathematician who made a serious contribution to algebra, a writer, philosopher and musician.
He was born on May 18, 1048 and lived for a long 83 years. His whole life was spent in Persia (modern Iran).
Of course, most of all this genius became famous for his quatrains, which are called the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. They contain deep meaning, subtle irony, exquisite humor and amazing sense of being.
There are many different translations of the rubaiyat of the great Persian. We bring to your attention the best sayings and aphorisms of Omar Khayyam.
It is better to fall into poverty, starve or steal,
Than to get into the number of despicable dishes.
It is better to gnaw bones than to be seduced by sweets
At the table of the bastards who have power.
The wind of life is sometimes fierce.
On the whole life is good though
And it's not scary when black bread
It's scary when a black soul...
I am a student in this best of the best worlds.
My work is hard: the teacher is painfully harsh!
Until gray hair, I go to life as apprentices,
Still not enrolled in the category of masters ...
Isn't it funny to save a penny for a whole century,
If you can't buy eternal life anyway?
This life was given to you, my dear, for a while, -
Try not to miss the time!
And with a friend and an enemy, you must be good!
Who by nature is kind, you will not find malice in him.
Hurt a friend - you make an enemy,
Embrace the enemy - you will find a friend.
If you have a nook for housing -
In our vile time - and a piece of bread,
If you are not a servant to anyone, not a master -
You are happy and truly high in spirit.
The ocean of drops is great.
The mainland is made up of dust particles.
Your arrival and departure - do not matter.
Just a fly flew in the window for a moment ...
From godlessness to God - one moment!
From zero to total - one moment.
Take care of this precious moment:
Life - neither less nor more - one moment!
Wine is forbidden, but there are four "buts":
It depends on who, with whom, when and in moderation, or drinks wine.
If these four conditions are met
All sane wine is allowed.
Two people were looking out the same window.
One saw rain and mud.
The other is green foliage,
Spring and the sky is blue.
We are a source of fun and sorrow mine.
We are a reservoir of filth and a pure spring.
Man, as if in a mirror, the world has many faces.
He is insignificant and he is immensely great!
Who is beaten by life, he will achieve more.
A pood of salt who has eaten appreciates honey more.
Who sheds tears, he sincerely laughs.
Who died, he knows that he lives!
How often, in life, making mistakes,
We lose those we love.
Trying to please strangers
sometimes we run from our neighbor.
We lift those who are not worth us,
but we betray the most faithful.
Who loves us so much, we offend,
and we are waiting for an apology.
Do not envy the one who is strong and rich,
Sunrise is always followed by sunset.
With this life short, equal to a breath.
Treat as with this one for rent.
And a speck of dust was a living particle.
A black curl, a long eyelash was.
Wipe the dust from your face gently and gently:
Dust, perhaps Zukhra was a clairvoyant!
I once bought a talking pitcher.
“I was a check! - the jug screamed inconsolably -
I became dust. The potter summoned me from the dust
He made the former Shah a pleasure to revel in.
This old jug is on the poor man's table
He was an all-powerful vizier in the past centuries.
This cup, which is held by the hand, -
The breast of a dead beauty or the cheek...
Did the world have a source in the very beginning?
Here is the riddle that God gave us,
The sages talked about it as they wanted, -
None of them could figure it out.
He is too zealous, shouting: "It's me!"
In a wallet with a golden strumming: "It's me!"
But as soon as he manages to set things up -
death knocks on the window to the braggart: "It's me!"
Do you see this boy, old sage?
He amuses himself with sand - he builds a palace.
Give him advice: "Be careful, young man,
With the ashes of wise heads and loving hearts!
In the cradle - the baby, the dead - in the coffin:
That's all that is known about our fate.
Drink the cup to the bottom - and do not ask much:
The master will not reveal a secret to a slave.
Do not mourn, mortal, yesterday's losses,
Do not measure today's affairs by tomorrow's measure,
Do not believe in the past or the future,
Believe the current minute - be happy now!
Months followed months before us,
Wise men were replaced by wise men before us.
These dead stones are under our feet
Before they were the pupils of captivating eyes.
I see a troubled land - the abode of sorrows,
I see mortals hurrying to their grave,
I see glorious kings, moon-faced beauties,
Shining and becoming prey to worms.
There is no heaven or hell, O my heart!
There is no return from the darkness, O my heart!
And do not hope, O my heart!
And there is no need to be afraid, O my heart!
We are obedient dolls in the hands of the Creator!
This is not said by me for the sake of words.
The Almighty leads us on the stage on strings
And shoves it into the chest, bringing it to the end.
Well, if your dress is without holes.
And it is not a sin to think about daily bread.
And everything else is not necessary for nothing -
Life is more precious than wealth and honors of all.
Having become a poor dervish, you will reach heights.
Having torn your heart into blood, you will reach heights.
Away, empty dreams of great accomplishments!
Only by coping with yourself - you will reach heights.

Quotes and aphorisms:
Omar Khayyam is a great Persian poet and philosopher, who became famous all over the world for his wise sayings. At home, he is also known as a mathematician, astronomer and astrologer. In mathematical treatises, the scientist presented ways to solve complex equations. The circle of his scientific achievements also includes the development of a new solar calendar.
Most of all, Omar Khayyam was glorified by his literary and philosophical activities. Omar Khayyam is the author of quatrain poems - rubaiyat. They are written in Farsi. There is an opinion that initially rubaiyat were translated into English, and only then into other languages of the world, including Russian.
Probably, there is no such topic that Omar Khayyam would not devote his work to. He wrote about life, about love, about friends, about happiness, about fate. In the poet's work there are also reflections on reincarnation, on the soul, on the role of money, in his poems (rubai), he even described wine, a jug and a familiar potter. Initially, the poet's work caused a lot of controversy, some considered him a freethinker and a reveler, others saw him as a deep thinker. To date, Omar Khayyam is recognized as the most talented author of the rubaiyat, and his work undoubtedly deserves attention.
Isn't it funny to save a penny for a whole century,
If you can't buy eternal life anyway?
This life was given to you, my dear, for a while, -
Try not to miss the time!
Life is to be valued.
Be easy on people. Do you want to be wiser -
Do not hurt with your wisdom.
Clever is not wise.
You say this life is just a moment.
Appreciate it, draw inspiration from it.
As you spend it, so it will pass,
Don't forget: she is your creation.
Life is given one, and it must be loved.
The one who is discouraged dies prematurely.
As long as you believe in yourself - as long as you live.
To live life wisely, you need to know a lot,
Two important rules to remember to get started:
You'd rather starve than eat anything
And it's better to be alone than with just anyone.
In life, you need to understand, and not act by inertia.
About love
A plucked flower must be presented, a poem begun must be completed, and the beloved woman must be happy, otherwise it was not worth taking on something that is beyond your power.
If you are not confident in your abilities, it is better not to take it.
Like the sun, it burns without burning, love.
Like a bird of heavenly paradise - love.
But not yet love - nightingale groans.
Do not moan, dying of love - love!
Love is like a flame that warms souls.
Know that the main source of being is love.
The meaning of life is the one who loves.
In this world, love is the decoration of people,
To be deprived of love is to be without friends.
The one whose heart did not cling to the drink of love,
He is an ass, even though he does not wear donkey ears!
Not to love means not to live, but to exist.
In a loved one, even flaws are liked, and in an unloved person, even virtues annoy.
Happiness cannot be found with an unloved person.
You can seduce a man who has a wife, you can seduce a man who has a mistress, but you cannot seduce a man who has a beloved woman!
Being a wife and a beloved woman is not always the same thing.
About friendship
If you do not share in time with a friend -
All your fortune will go to the enemy.
For a friend, nothing can be regretted.
Have smaller friends, do not expand their circle.
And remember: it is better to have a close, distant friend.
The less common affairs, the more trust.
A true friend is a person who will tell you everything he thinks about you, and tell everyone that you are a wonderful person.
But in life it's quite the opposite.
Hurt a friend - you make an enemy,
Embrace the enemy - you will find a friend.
The main thing is not to confuse.
The most witty
If a vile medicine pours you - pour it out!
If a wise man pours you poison, take it!
The wise must be listened to.
It is better to gnaw bones than to be seduced by sweets
At the table of the bastards who have power.
Do not give in to temptation, power is a vile thing.
Those who did not seek the path are unlikely to be shown the path -
Knock and the door to destiny will open!
Who seeks will always find!
One does not understand what roses smell like ...
Another of the bitter herbs will produce honey ...
Give someone a trifle, forever remember ...
You will give your life to someone, but he will not understand ...
Everyone is different, there is no doubt about it.
The work of Omar Khayyam is filled with meanings. All the sayings of the great thinker and poet make you think and rethink life.
