We are thinking about bad only those who are worse than we are, and those who are better than us ... I'm just not up to us ... One does not follow it than smell roses. Another of the bitter herbs will produce honey. Give bread to one - will remember forever. Another life donation - do not understand.

Why, all the Saints and Sages who discuss'd Of the Two Worlds so wisely - they are thrust Like foolish Prophets forth their Words to Scorn Are scattered, and their mouths are stopped with Dust.
Omar Khayyam
Image
You know, my friends, with what a brave carouse I made a Second Marriage in my house favored old barren reason from my bed, and took the daughter of the vine to spouse.
Omar Khayyam
Image
The Stars are setting and the Caravan Starts for the Dawn of Nothing-Oh, make haste!
Omar Khayyam
Image
There was a door to which I found no key: There was the veil through which I might not see.
Omar Khayyam
Image
I can’t reveal the mystery to either saint or sinner I can’t state at length what I’ve said curtly I achieve an altered state that I can’t explain I have a secret that I cannot share.
Omar Khayyam
Image
Dust into Dust, and under Dust to lie, Sans Wine, sans Song, sans Singer, and-sans End!
Omar Khayyam
Image
You know how little while we have to stay, And, once departed, may return no more.
Omar Khayyam

The Flower that once has blown forever dies.

Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life.
Omar Khayyam
Image
By Fate full many a heart has been undone, And many a sprightly rose made woe-begone Plume thee not on thy lusty youth and strength: Full many a bud is blasted ere its bloom.
Omar Khayyam
