More quotes by Omar Khayyam
Dust into Dust, and under Dust to lie, Sans Wine, sans Song, sans Singer, and-sans End!
Omar Khayyam
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
Here's to the man Who owns the land That bears the grapes That makes the wine That tastes as good As this does.
Omar Khayyam
Drink! For you know not whence you came nor why.
Omar Khayyam
The Grape that can with Logic absolute The Two-and-Seventy jarring Sects confute: The sovereign Alchemist that in a trice Life's leaden metal into Gold transmute.
Omar Khayyam
He who has one enemy shall meet him everywhere.
Omar Khayyam
Tomorrow! - Why, tomorrow I may be Myself with yesterday's sev'n thousand years.
Omar Khayyam
You know how little while we have to stay, And, once departed, may return no more.
Omar Khayyam
Heaven has not learned of my arrival, and my departure will not in the least diminish it beauty and grandeur. I will sleep underground, for us ephemeral mortals, the only eternity is the moment and drinking to the moment is better than weeping for it.
Omar Khayyam
And this I know whether the one True Light Kindle to Love, or Wrath consume me quite, One flash of it within the Tavern caught Better than in the temple lost outright.
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
The rose that once has bloomed forever dies.
Omar Khayyam
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
Heaven but the vision of fulfilled desire, and Hell the shadow from a soul on fire.
Omar Khayyam
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
A loaf of bread, a jug of wine, and thou.
Omar Khayyam
Algebras (jabbre and maqabeleh) are geometric facts which are proved by propositions five and six of Book two of Elements.
Omar Khayyam
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
Oh, the brave Music of a distant drum!
Omar Khayyam
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
