Image
Why ponder thus the future to foresee, and jade thy brain to vain perplexity? Cast off thy care, leave Allah’s plans to him – He formed them all without consulting thee.
Omar Khayyam
Image
In monasteries, seminaries, retreats and synagogues, they fear hell and seek paradise. Those who know the mysteries of God never let that seed be planted in their souls.
Omar Khayyam
Image
The thoughtful soul to solitude retires.
Omar Khayyam
Image
Heaven but the vision of fulfilled desire, and Hell the shadow from a soul on fire.
Omar Khayyam
Image
Awake, my Little ones, and fill the Cup Before Life's Liquor in its Cup be dry.
Omar Khayyam
Image
This clay, so strong of heart, of sense so fine,Surely such clay is more than half divine--'Tis only fools speak evil of the clay,The very stars are made of clay like mine.
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
To-day is thine to spend, but not to-morrow Counting on morrows breedeth bankrupt sorrow: O squander not this breath that Heaven hath lent thee Make not too sure another breath to borrow.
Omar Khayyam

Whoever thinks algebra is a trick in obtaining unknowns has thought it in vain. No attention should be paid to the fact that algebra and geometry are different in appearance. Algebras (jabbre and maqabeleh) are geometric facts which are proved by propositions five and six of Book two of Elements.
Omar Khayyam
Image
Drink wine. This is life eternal. This is all that youth will give you. It is the season for wine, roses and drunken friends. Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life.
Omar Khayyam
Image
For in and out, above, about, below, 'Tis nothing but a Magic Shadow-show, Played in a Box whose Candle is the Sun, Round which we Phantom Figures come and go.
Omar Khayyam
Image
Alas, that Spring should vanish with the Rose! That Youths sweet-scented Manuscript should close!
Omar Khayyam
Image
You know how little while we have to stay, And, once departed, may return no more.
Omar Khayyam
Image
By the help of God and with His precious assistance, I say that Algebra is a scientific art. The objects with which it deals are absolute numbers and measurable quantities which, though themselves unknown, are related to things which are known, whereby the determination of the unknown quantities is possible.
Omar Khayyam
Image
Ah, take the Cash, and let the Credit go, Nor heed the rumble of a distant Drum!
Omar Khayyam
Image
The value of three things is justly appreciated by all classes of men: youth, by the old health, by the diseased and wealth, by the needy.
Omar Khayyam
Image
The Moving Finger writes and, having writ, Moves on: nor all your Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it.
Omar Khayyam
Image
Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life.
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
