The best sayings of Omar Khayyam. Wise thoughts of Omar Khayyam about life

Omar Khayyam is a great Persian philosopher, poet and mathematician; he passed away on December 4, 1131, but his wisdom lives on for centuries. Omar Khayyam - eastern philosopher, every person on this planet has heard about him, in all religions Omar Khayam is studied in school and higher education educational institutions. His creations - rubaiyat - quatrains, wise and at the same time humorous, initially had a double meaning. The Rubaiyat speaks about what cannot be said out loud in plain text.

Sayings by Omar Khayyam about life and man

The lower man soul, the higher nose up. He reaches with his nose to where his soul has not grown.
No one can tell what roses smell like. Another of the bitter herbs will produce honey. If you give someone some change, they will remember it forever. You give your life to someone, but he won’t understand.
Two people were looking out the same window. One saw rain and mud. The other is green elm foliage, spring and blue sky.
We are a source of joy and sorrow. We are a receptacle of filth and a pure spring. Man, as if in a mirror, the world has many faces. He is insignificant and he is immeasurably great!
He who is beaten by life will achieve more. He who has eaten a pound of salt appreciates honey more. He who shed tears laughs sincerely. He who died knows that he lives!
How often, when we make mistakes in life, we lose those we value. Trying to please others, sometimes we run away from our neighbors. We exalt those who are not worthy of us, and betray the most faithful. Those who love us so much offend us, and we ourselves expect an apology.
We will never enter this world again, we will never meet our friends at the table. Catch every flying moment - you will never catch it later.
Don’t envy someone who is strong and rich; sunset always follows the dawn.
With this short life, equal to a breath. Treat it as if it was rented to you.

Quotes from Omar Khayyam about love

To live your life wisely, you need to know a lot. Two important rules Remember for starters: it’s better to starve than to eat anything and it’s better to be alone than with just anyone.
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.
The thorns of lovely roses are the price of the fragrance. The price of drunken feasts is hangover suffering. For your fiery passion for your only one, you must pay with years of waiting.
About grief, grief to the heart, where there is no burning passion. Where there is no love, there is no torment, where there are no dreams of happiness. A day without love is lost: duller and grayer than this barren day, and there are no days of bad weather.
You like even the shortcomings in a loved one, and even the advantages in an unloved person irritate you.

No one can tell what roses smell like...

If you give someone some change, they will remember it forever...
You give your life to someone, but he won’t understand...

Dear friends! Wisdom of life from talented people are 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 one from an astronomical point of view Julian calendar, and in accuracy the European Gregorian.

A lot can be said about Omar Khayyam, and I may decide to talk about the biography of this extraordinary man, but today’s post is about his literary heritage. Omar Khayyam became famous in our time, first of all, as the author of the famous wise quatrains - reflections - rubai. Rubai - bright, emotional, written with brilliant wit, at the same time musical and lyrical - have conquered the whole world. Most of Rubai are reflections on the Koran. How many quatrains were written by the poet? Now there are about 1200. According to the Indian scientist and researcher of the work of the poet Swami Govinda Tirtha, up to 2,200 quatrains have survived in our time. In fact, no one knows how much was written, because over nine centuries many rubai have been lost forever.

Was there any wisdom of life from Omar Khayyam?

The controversy about the authorship of the Rubaiyat continues to this day. Some believe that Omar Khayyam has no more than 400 original texts, others are more strict - only 66, and some scientists claim - 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 the manuscripts that were passed down from generation to generation were accompanied by other people's quatrains, whose authorship was not established. Someone wrote down their own rubai in the margins, and centuries later they were considered missing insertions and included in the main text.

Osman Hamdy Bey (c)

Perhaps the most laconic, daring, witty and elegant quatrains in all centuries were attributed to Omar Khayyam. Finding authentic rubai of Omar Khayyam is a hopeless task, since today the authorship of any quatrain is difficult to establish. Therefore, let us trust ancient and not very ancient manuscripts, we will read wise thoughts and find the quatrain to which our soul responds in this moment. And then say thank you 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 carefree until you are a hundred years old and happy...
You will miraculously last until two hundred!... - And there?

“Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam” by E. Fitzgerald

The wisdom of life from Omar Khayyam became known thanks to Edward Fitzgerald, who found a notebook with quatrains and first translated them into Latin language, and then - in 1859 - into English.

These poems amazed the English poet with their wisdom, deep philosophical overtones and at the same time lyricism and subtlety. “After several centuries, old man Khayyam continues to ring like real metal,” Edward Fitzgerald said admiringly. Fitzgerald's translation was arbitrary; in order to connect the quatrains, he made his own insertions, and ultimately created a poem similar to the tales of the Arabian Nights, main character which he constantly feasts on and periodically utters truths over the constant cup of wine.

Thanks to Fitzgerald, Omar Khayyam gained a reputation as a merry fellow, a jokester who loves wine and encourages seizing the moment of pleasure. But thanks to this poem, the whole world learned about the Persian poet, and aphorisms, poems, parables and other everyday wisdom were quoted throughout all countries. The most famous

To live your life wisely, you need to know a lot,
Remember two important rules 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 to where his soul has not grown.

in the ears or tongues 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 paraphrase translations, since the poet did not set himself the task of reproducing the original. A total of 5 sayings were made in the form of quatrains.
In general, more than 40 names are known in Russia who have translated Omar Khayyam. Some of the most famous are the translations of V. Derzhavin, A.V. Starostin, G. Plisetsky, N. Strizhkov, G.S. Semenov. I specifically focus on these names, because I give the quatrains below without indicating the name of the translator (I couldn’t find it, alas). Perhaps these poets are their authors. To date, more than 700 Khayyam rubai have been translated.

We have already said that translations reflect the essence of the translator, because everyone brings into the translation not only their own talent, but also their own understanding of quatrains (by the way, I “fell ill” with the topic of interlinear translation after, which simply stunned me with its 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 in sight.
More than once will luminaries in the same zodiac sign come together in the heavens,
[representing the predestination of fate].
The bricks that will be molded from your ashes
Smash into the wall of a house for other people

Mahmoud Farshchian (c)

Compare!

Translation by C. Guerra (1901):

Surrender to joy! The torment will be eternal!
The days will change: day - night, day - night again;
The earthly hours are all small and fleeting,
And soon you will leave us from here.
You will mix with the earth, with lumps of sticky clay,
And the bricks will be covered with you at the stoves,
And they will build a palace for the lowly cattle,
And at that bookmark they will make a series of speeches.
And your spirit, perhaps, is a former shell
Back to yourself again, it will be in vain to call!
So sing and have fun while they give you a reprieve
And death has not yet come to visit you.

Translation by G. Plisetsky (1971):

Have some fun! The sad ones go crazy.
Eternal darkness shines with eternal stars.
How to get used to what is made of thinking flesh
Will the bricks be made and laid at home?

Unfortunately, I cannot list (due to the blog format) 13 more varieties of this translation. Some rubai 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 instructions. 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 people of the world are looking for. Despite the fact (or maybe precisely because) that the statements of his poems are sometimes opposite and contradictory, his rubai captivate people of any age.

Osman Hamdy Bey (c)

Young people, thanks to the wisdom of his poems, have the opportunity to avoid some mistakes. Young people just entering great 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 thousand years ago.
Behind the lines one can see the searching and inquisitive personality of the poet. He returns to the same thoughts throughout his life, revising them, discovering new possibilities or secrets of life.

Osman Hamdy Bey (c)

For many years I reflected on earthly life.
There is nothing incomprehensible to me under the sun.
I know that I know nothing, -
This is the last secret I have learned.

Quotes from Omar Khayyam are an opportunity to step 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 a careful attitude towards 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 captivate with their brevity and depth of thought. Every moment of life is priceless, the poet never tires of reminding us.

Wisdom of life from Omar Khayyam

You will say this life is 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 indignant, we are indignant,
But we buy and sell.
***

Don't share your secret with people,
After all, you don’t know which of them is mean.
What do you do with God's creation?
Expect the same from yourself and from people.
***

Don't let a scoundrel into your secrets - hide them,
And keep secrets from a fool - hide them,
Look at yourself among the people passing by,
Keep silent about your hopes until the end - hide them!
***

Everything we see is only one appearance.
Far from the surface of the world to the bottom.
Consider the obvious in the world to be unimportant,
For the secret essence of things is not visible.
***

We change rivers, countries, cities...
Other doors... New Years...
And we can’t escape ourselves anywhere,
And if you go, you’ll go nowhere.
***

Hell and heaven are in heaven,” say the bigots.
I looked into myself and became convinced of the lie:
Hell and heaven are not circles in the palace of the universe,
Hell and heaven are two halves of the soul.
***

Mahmoud Farshchian (c)

We don’t know if life will last until the morning...
So hurry up and sow the seeds of goodness!
And take care of love in this perishable world for your friends
Every moment is more than gold and silver.
***

We went to look for You, but we became an angry crowd:
And the poor, and the rich, and the generous, and the stingy.
You talk to everyone, none of us hears.
You appear before everyone, any of us is blind.

Antipyretics for children are prescribed by a pediatrician. But there are emergency situations with fever when the child needs to be given medicine immediately. Then the parents take responsibility and use antipyretic drugs. What is allowed to be given to infants? How can you lower the temperature in older children? What medications are the safest?

Why do you expect benefit from your wisdom?
You will get milk from the goat sooner.
Pretend to be a fool and you'll get more benefit
And wisdom these days is cheaper than leeks.

Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

Noble people, loving each other,
They see the grief of others and forget themselves.
If you want honor and the shine of mirrors, -
Don't 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.
Until death we will become neither better nor worse.
We are the way Allah created us!

Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

Brother, don’t demand wealth - there is not enough for everyone.
Do not look at sin with gloating holiness.
There is a God above mortals. As for the neighbor's affairs,
There are even more holes in your robe.

Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

You shouldn't look into the future,
Enjoy a moment of happiness today.
After all, tomorrow, friend, we will be considered death
With those who left 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
They are immediately accused of undermining the foundations.

Giyasaddin Abu-l-Fath Omar ibn Ibrahim al-Khayyam Nishapuri - full name a man who is better known to us as Omar Khayyam.
This Persian poet, mathematician, philosopher, astrologer, and astronomer is known all over the world for his rubaiyat quatrains, which delight with their wisdom, guile, audacity and humor. His poems are simply a storehouse of eternal wisdom of life, which were relevant during the poet’s life (1048 - 1131), and have not lost their relevance today. We invite you to read the poems and quotes by Omar Khayyam and enjoy their content.

Having endured hardships, you will become a free bird.
And the drop will become a pearl in the pearl oyster.
If you give away your wealth, it will come back to you.
If the cup is empty, they will give you something to drink.

Only those who are worse than us think badly of us,
and those who are better than us... They simply have no time for us

Hell and heaven in heaven are claimed by bigots;
I looked into myself and became convinced of the 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, -
In old age you will be empty, like an abandoned house.
Look at yourself and think about
Who are you, where are you and where do you go next?

We are a source of fun and a mine of sorrow,
We are a receptacle of filth - and a pure spring.
Man, as if in a mirror, the world has many faces.
He is insignificant - and he is immeasurably great!

Life is forced on us; her whirlpool
It stuns us, but one moment - and then
It's time to leave without knowing the purpose of life...
Coming is meaningless, leaving is meaningless!

Sunset always follows dawn.
With this short life, equal to a sigh,
Treat it as if it was rented to you.

Those who have been beaten by life will achieve more,
He who has eaten a pound of salt values ​​honey more highly.
He who shed tears laughs sincerely,
He who has died knows that he lives.

Everything is bought and sold
And life openly laughs at us.
We are indignant, we are indignant,
But we are bought and sold.

If you can, don’t worry about time passing,
Do not burden your soul with either the past or the future.
Spend your treasures while you are alive;
After all, you will still appear in the next world as poor.

Omar Khayyam was a great man! I always admired his deep knowledge of the human soul! His statements are still relevant today! It seems people haven't changed much since that long ago!

The scientist wrote his rubai all his life. He drank little wine, but describes his great wisdom. We don't know anything about him either personal life, but he subtly describes love.

The wise sayings of Omar Khayyam make us forget about all the vanity and think about great values ​​at least for a moment. We offer you the best quotes from Omar Khayyam about love and life:

About life

1. No one can tell what roses smell like. Another of the bitter herbs will produce honey. If you give someone some change, they will remember it forever. You give your life to someone, but he won’t understand.

2. He who is beaten by life will achieve more. He who eats a pound of salt appreciates honey more. He who shed tears laughs sincerely. He who died knows that he lives!

3. The lower a person’s soul, the higher his nose turns up. He reaches with his nose to where his soul has not grown.

4. Two people were looking through the same window. One saw rain and mud. The other is green elm foliage, spring and blue sky.

5. How often, when we make mistakes in life, we lose those we value. Trying to please others, sometimes we run away from our neighbors.

We exalt those who are not worthy of us, and betray the most faithful. Those who love us so much, we offend, and we ourselves expect an apology.

6. We are a source of joy and a mine of sorrow. We are a receptacle of filth and a pure spring. Man, as if in a mirror, the world has many faces. He is insignificant and he is immeasurably great!

7. We will never enter this world again, we will never meet our friends at the table. Catch every flying moment - you will never catch it later.

8. With this short life, equal to a breath. Treat it as if it was rented to you.

9. Don’t envy someone who is strong and rich; sunset always follows the dawn.

About love

10. Giving yourself does not mean selling. And sleeping next to each other does not mean sleeping with you. Not taking revenge does not mean forgiving everything. Not being close does not mean not loving!

11. About woe, woe to the heart, where there is no burning passion. Where there is no love, there is no torment, where there are no dreams of happiness. A day without love is lost: duller and grayer than this barren day, and there are no days of bad weather.

12. To live your life wisely, you need to know a lot. Remember two important rules to begin with: you’d rather starve than eat anything and it’s better to be alone than with just anyone.

13. Even the shortcomings in a loved one are liked, and even the advantages in an unloved one are annoying.

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 must be given as a gift, a poem that has been started must be completed, and the woman you love must be happy, otherwise you shouldn’t have taken on something you can’t do.

Life will fly by in an instant,
Appreciate it, draw pleasure from it.
As you spend it, so it will pass,
Don't forget: she is your creation.

Don’t forget that you are not alone: ​​God is next to you in your most difficult moments.

What God once measured out for us, friends,
You can't increase it and you can't decrease it.
Let's try to spend the cash wisely,
Without coveting someone else's property, without asking for a loan.

You don’t even notice that your dreams are coming true, you never have enough!

Life is a desert, we wander through it naked.
Mortal, full of pride, you are simply ridiculous!
You find a reason for every step -
Meanwhile, it has long been a foregone conclusion in heaven.

I would like to mold my life from the smartest things
I didn’t think of it there, but I didn’t manage to do it here.
But Time is our efficient teacher!
As soon as you give me a slap on the head, you have become a little wiser.

Absolutely nothing upsets or surprises me anymore.
It's okay either way.

Know that the main source of existence is love

It's hard to understand God's plans, old man.
This sky has neither top nor bottom.
Sit in a secluded corner and be content with little:
If only the stage was at least a little visible!

Those who have not sought the way are unlikely to be shown the way -
Knock and the doors to destiny will open!

In our vile times - even 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, made of drops, is large.
The continent is made up of dust particles.
Your coming and going don't matter.
Just a fly flew into the window for a moment...

From godlessness to God - one moment!
From zero to total - just a moment.
Take care of this precious moment:
Life - neither less nor more - one moment!

Wine is prohibited, but there are four “buts”:
It depends on who drinks wine, with whom, when and in moderation.
If these four conditions are met
Wine is allowed to all sane people.

Two people were looking out the same window.
One saw rain and mud.
The other is green ligature foliage,
It's spring and the sky is blue.

We are a source of joy and sorrow.
We are a receptacle of filth and a pure spring.
Man, as if in a mirror, the world has many faces.
He is insignificant and he is immeasurably great!

He who is beaten by life will achieve more.
He who eats a pound of salt appreciates honey more.
He who shed tears laughs sincerely.
He who died knows that he lives!

How often, when making mistakes in life,
We lose those we value.
Trying to please others,
sometimes we run from our neighbors.
We lift up 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.

Don't envy someone who is strong and rich
Sunset always follows dawn.
With this short life, equal to a breath.
Treat it as if it was rented to you.

And the speck of dust was a living particle.
She had a black curl and a long eyelash.
Wipe the dust from your face carefully and gently:
Dust, perhaps, Zukhra was bright-faced!

I once bought a talking jug.
“I was the Shah! - the jug screamed inconsolably -
I became dust. The potter called me from the dust
He made the former Shah a pleasure for revelers.”

This old jug on the poor man's table
He was an all-powerful vizier in bygone centuries.
This cup that the hand holds is
The chest of a dead beauty or the cheek...

Did the world have an origin at the very beginning?
This is the riddle that God asked us,
The sages talked about her as they wished, -
No one could really solve it.

He is too zealous and shouts: “It’s me!”
The gold coin in the wallet jingles: “It’s me!”
But as soon as he has time to sort things out -
Death knocks on the braggart’s window: “It’s me!”

Do you see this boy, old sage?
He plays with sand and builds a palace.
Give him advice: “Be careful, young man,
With the ashes of wise heads and loving hearts!”

There is a baby in the cradle, a dead man in the coffin:
That's all that is known about our fate.
Drink the cup to the bottom - and don’t ask too much:
The master will not reveal the secret to the slave.

Do not mourn, mortal, yesterday's losses,
Don’t measure today’s deeds by tomorrow’s standard,
Believe neither the past nor the future minute,
Believe the current minute - be happy now!

Months followed months before us,
Sages have been replaced by sages before us.
These dead stones are under our feet
Previously, they were the pupils of captivating eyes.

I see a vague land - the abode of sorrows,
I see mortals hurrying to their graves,
I see glorious kings, moon-faced beauties,
Worms that have become shiny and become prey.

There is no heaven or hell, oh my heart!
There is no return from darkness, oh my heart!
And there is no need to hope, oh my heart!
And there is no need to be afraid, oh my heart!

We are obedient dolls in the hands of the Creator!
I didn’t say this for the sake of a word.
The Almighty leads us across the stage on strings
And he shoves it into the chest, finishing it off.

It's good if your dress has no holes.
And it’s not a sin to think about your daily bread.
And everything else is not needed for nothing -
Life is more valuable than wealth and honors of all.

Once you become a beggar dervish, you will reach heights.
Having torn your heart to blood, you will reach heights.
Away, empty dreams of great achievements!
Only by controlling yourself will you reach heights.

Surely you liked it aphorisms of Omar Khayyam. Reading the rubai of this great man is interesting and useful.

Giving yourself does not mean selling.

Don’t do evil - it will come back like a boomerang, don’t spit in the well - you will drink water, don’t insult someone of lower rank, in case you have to ask for something. Don’t betray your friends, you won’t replace them, and don’t lose your loved ones - you won’t get them back, don’t lie to yourself - over time you will verify that you are betraying yourself with lies.

Isn’t it funny to save a penny all your life,
What if you still can’t buy eternal life?
This life was given to you, my dear, for a while, -
Try not to miss time!

What God once measured out to us, friends, cannot be increased and cannot be decreased. Let's try to spend the cash wisely, without coveting something else, without asking for a loan.

You say, this life is one moment.
Appreciate it, draw inspiration from it.
As you spend it, so it will pass,

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!

Love in the beginning is always tender.
In memories - always affectionate.
And if you love, it’s pain! And with greed for each other
We torment and torment - always.

______________________

In this unfaithful world, don’t be a fool: Don’t you dare rely on those around you. Look with a firm eye at your closest friend - A friend may turn out to be your worst enemy.

______________________

You must be good with both friend and enemy! He who is good by nature will not find malice in him. If you offend a friend, you will make an enemy; if you hug an enemy, you will gain a friend.

______________________

Have smaller friends, don't expand their circle.
And remember: better than close ones, a friend living far away.
Take a calm look at everyone who is sitting around.
In whom you saw support, you will suddenly see your enemy.

______________________

Don't make others angry and don't be angry yourself.
We are guests in this mortal world,
And what’s wrong, then you accept it.
Think with a cool head.
After all, everything is natural in the world:
The evil you emitted
Will definitely come back to you!

Better to fall into poverty, starve or steal,
How to become one of the despicable dishevelers.

You got out of rags to riches, but quickly becoming a prince... Don’t forget, so as not to jinx it..., princes are not eternal - dirt is eternal...

Life will fly by in an instant,
Appreciate it, draw pleasure from it.
As you spend it, so it will pass,
Don't forget: she is your creation.

______________________

Once the day has passed, don’t 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!

______________________

If you can, don’t worry about time passing,
Do not burden your soul with either the past or the future.
Spend your treasures while you are alive;
After all, you will still appear in the next world as poor.

______________________

Do not be afraid of the wiles of time as it flies,
Our troubles in the circle of existence are not eternal.
Spend the moment given to us in joy,
Don't cry about the past, don't be afraid of the future.

______________________

I have never been repulsed by a person’s poverty; it’s another matter if his soul and thoughts are poor.
Noble people, loving each other,
They see the grief of others and forget themselves.
If you want honor and the shine of mirrors, -
Don't envy others, and they will love you.

______________________

Don't envy someone who is strong and rich. Sunset always follows dawn. Treat this short life, equal to a sigh, as if it was given to you on loan!

I would like to mold my life from the smartest things
I didn’t think of it there, but I didn’t manage to do it here.
But Time is our efficient teacher!
As soon as you give me a slap on the head, you have become a little wiser.

Life is a moment. Appreciate it while you are alive, drawing inspiration. Life is only your creation. As you harness it, so will you go.

Always keep it short – just the gist. This is the conversation of a real man. A pair of ears is a lonely tongue. Pay attention and listen twice - open your mouth only once. – Omar Khayyam

Pour, do not spare me the flowing fire, pour ruby ​​sparks into the glass, give me a massive goblet, fill the container with the joy of playing lights.

The stars decorated our sky. They shine in the sky, disturbing peace and sleep. We are expecting thousands of people. The table is set, but it's low season.

If you recognize someone else's superiority, that means you are an adult husband. If he is a true master of his actions and promises, then he is doubly a man. There is no honor or glory in humiliating the weak. If you are compassionate in misfortune, if you help in trouble, you are also worthy of recognition and respect. O. Khayyam

Fortunately, no one has ever been able to please and satisfy oneself without consequences and disappointments.

The source of joy and the sea of ​​​​sorrow are people. As well as a container of filth, and a transparent spring. A person is reflected in a thousand mirrors - he changes his face like a chameleon, at the same time being insignificant and immeasurably great.

Continue reading Omar Khayyam's quotes on the following pages:

Those who have not sought the way are unlikely to be shown the way - Knock - and the doors to destiny will open!

Passion cannot be friends with deep love; if it can, then they will not be together for long.

If a vile person pours medicine for you, pour it out! If a wise man pours poison on you, accept it!

Those who lose heart die before their time.

No one saw either heaven or hell; Has anyone returned from there to our corruptible world? But these ghosts are fruitless for us and our fears and hopes are an unchanging source.

exalt yourself, Are you so great and wise? - dare to ask yourself. Let the eyes serve as an example - huge seeing the world, They do not complain because they cannot see themselves.

We change rivers, countries, cities. Other doors. New Years. But we can’t escape ourselves anywhere, and if we escape, we will only go nowhere.

Evil is not born from good and vice versa. Human eyes are given to us to distinguish them!

I will teach you how to please everyone, lavish smiles left and right, praise Jews, Muslims and Christians - and you will gain good fame for yourself.

Passion cannot be friends with deep love. If it can, then they will not be together for long.

Nobility is born through suffering, friend, to become a pearl - is it given to every drop? You can lose everything, save only your soul - the cup will be filled again, if only there was wine.

Those who have not sought the way are unlikely to be shown the way - knock and the doors to destiny will open!

From feigned love there is no quenching, No matter how much the rotten light shines, there is no burning. Day and night there is no peace for a lover, For months there is no moment of oblivion!

You, the Almighty, in my opinion, are greedy and old. You deal blow after blow to the slave. Paradise is the reward of the sinless for their obedience. Would you give me something not as a reward, but as a gift!

Saki! I admire the fleeting dawn, I rejoice in any carefree moments. If you haven't drunk all the wine during the night, pour it. “Today” is a glorious moment! And “tomorrow” will be... eternal.

Although a wise man is not a miser and does not accumulate goods, the world is bad for a wise man without silver. Under the fence the violet fades from beggary, And the rich rose is red and generous!

Don't complain about pain - that's the best medicine.

To grow a shoot of despondency in the soul is a crime.

Of those who have traversed the length and breadth of the world, of those whom the Creator doomed to search, has at least one found anything that we did not know and that was useful to us?

You’d rather starve than eat anything, and it’s better to be alone than with just anyone.

Everything we see is only one appearance. Far from the surface of the world to the bottom. Consider the obvious in the world to be unimportant, for the secret essence of things is not visible.

Life is a desert, we wander through it naked. mortal, full of pride, you are simply ridiculous!

He is too zealous and shouts: “It’s me!” In the wallet, the little gold coin strums: “It’s me!” But as soon as he has time to get things going, Death knocks on the braggart’s window: “It’s me!”

You will say: this life is one moment. Appreciate it, draw inspiration from it. As you spend it, so it will pass, do not forget: she is your creation.

If a mill, a bathhouse, a luxurious palace is received as a gift by a fool and a scoundrel, And a worthy one goes into bondage for bread - I don’t care about your justice, creator!

It is better to gnaw on bones than to be seduced by sweets at the table of scoundrels in power.

Until death we will become neither better nor worse. We are the way Allah created us!

Don’t share your secret with people, because you don’t know which of them is mean. As you yourself act with God’s creation, expect the same from people.

It is better to drink and caress cheerful beauties than to seek salvation in fasting and prayers. If there is a place in hell for lovers and drunkards, then who will you order to allow into heaven?

It's hard to understand God's plans, old man. This sky has neither top nor bottom. Sit in a secluded corner and be content with little: as long as the stage is at least a little visible!

Don't let me enter God's temple. I am an atheist. This is how God created me. I am like a harlot whose faith is a vice. Sinners would be glad to go to heaven, but they don’t know the roads.

Know: in the heat of love, you have to be icy. At a high-ranking feast, you have to be cool.

One will not understand what roses smell like. Another of the bitter herbs will produce honey. Give bread to one - he will remember it forever. Sacrifice the life of another - he won’t understand...

Communicating with a fool will not bring you shame, so listen to Khayyam’s advice: accept the poison offered to you by the sage, but do not accept balm from the hands of a fool.

Man is the truth of the world, the crown, not everyone knows this, but only the sage.

In this perishable Universe, in due time, a person and a flower turn into dust, if the dust evaporated from under our feet, a bloody stream would flow from the sky to the ground.

Not appropriate good people to offend, it is not appropriate to growl like a predator in the desert. It’s not smart to boast about the wealth you’ve acquired, it’s not appropriate to honor yourself with titles!

He who from his youth believes in his own mind has become dry and gloomy in pursuit of the truth. He who claims from childhood to know life, without becoming a grape, has turned into a raisin.

If a vile person pours medicine for you, pour it out! If a wise man pours poison on you, accept it!

Wine is prohibited, but there are four “buts”:
It depends on who drinks wine, with whom, when and in moderation.
If these four conditions are met
Wine is allowed to all sane people.

Don't give a fool a drunken treat,
To protect yourself from feelings of disgust:
When he's drunk, he won't let you sleep with his screams,
And in the morning he’ll get tired of it, asking for forgiveness.

Don't look at how someone else is smarter than everyone else,
And see if he is true to his word.
If he doesn’t throw his words to the wind -
There is no price for him, as you yourself understand.

If you want, I’ll tell you how to look for treasure in life,
Amid the world's disasters, seek peace of mind:
You just need to not be distracted from the wine by anything,
Only pleasure to seek for the whole century in a row.

One's work is always shameful

Because own death can't be delayed
Since from above the path is indicated for mortals,
Since eternal things cannot be molded from wax -
There’s no point in crying about it, friends!

The greatness of the world is always in accordance with the greatness of the spirit looking at it. The good one finds his paradise here on earth, the evil one already has his hell here.

Some people are deceived by earthly life,
Some of them turn to a different life in their dreams.
Death is a wall. And in life no one will know
The highest truth hidden behind this wall.

Everything will pass - and the seed of hope will not sprout,
Everything you have accumulated will not be lost for a penny:
If you don't share with your friend on time -
All your property will go to the enemy

I am not afraid of death, I do not complain about fate,
I do not seek consolation in the hope of heaven.
An eternal soul, given to me for a short time,
I will return it in due time without complaint.

After all, it doesn’t matter at all what you die from,
After all, what is more important is why you were born.

The earth must crumble at the end of time.
I look into the future and see that she,
Short-lived, will not bear fruit for us...
Except for beautiful young faces and scarlet wine.

Until death we will become neither better nor worse.
We are the way Allah created us!

Nobility and meanness, courage and fear -
Everything is built into our bodies from birth.

If you don't share it with your friend on time -
All your wealth will go to the enemy.

In this world, love is the adornment of people,
To be deprived of love is to be without friends.
The one whose heart has not clung to the drink of love,
He's a donkey, even though he doesn't wear donkey ears!

If I were given omnipotence -
I would have cast down such a sky long ago
And would erect another, reasonable sky
So that it loves only the worthy.

Everything we see is only one appearance.
Far from the surface of the world to the bottom.
Consider the obvious in the world to be unimportant,
For the secret essence of things is not visible.

You, Almighty, in my opinion, are greedy and old.
You deal blow after blow to the slave.
Paradise is the reward of the sinless for their obedience.
Would you give me something not as a reward, but as a gift!

You are not very generous, almighty Creator:
How many broken hearts are there in the world due to you!
There are so many ruby ​​lips, musky curls
You, like a miser, hid it in a bottomless casket!

One will not understand what roses smell like. Another of the bitter herbs will produce honey. Give bread to one - he will remember it forever. Sacrifice the life of another - don’t
will understand...

You can't look into tomorrow today,
Just the thought of him makes my chest feel painful.
Who knows how many days you have left to live?
Don't waste them, be prudent.

Water... I drank it once. She doesn't quench my thirst

There is no point in locking the door in front of the future,
There is no point in choosing between evil and good.
The sky throws blindly dice -
Everything that falls out must be lost in time!

Do not envy the one who is stronger and richer, after the dawn there is always a sunset, treat this short life, equal to a sigh, as if it were given to you.
for rent.

I would compare the world to a chessboard -
sometimes it’s day, sometimes it’s night, and you and I are pawns.
Moved quietly and beaten
and put it in a dark box to rest!

Mortals, do not mourn yesterday's losses... Today is today, do not measure tomorrow by the yardstick... Believe neither the past nor the future minute... Believe the minute
current - be happy now...

We change rivers, countries, cities. Other doors. New Years. But we can’t escape ourselves anywhere, and if we escape, we will only go nowhere.

God gives, God takes - that’s the whole story.
What's what remains a mystery to us.
How long to live, how much to drink - they measure
by eye, and even then they strive not to top it up every time.

I would like to mold my life from the smartest things
I didn’t think of it there, but I didn’t manage to do it here.
But Time is our efficient teacher!
As soon as you give me a slap on the head, you have become a little wiser.

The ocean, made of drops, is large.
The continent is made up of dust particles.
Your coming and going doesn't matter.
Just a fly flew into the window for a moment...

Who is ugly, who is handsome - does not know passion,
A madman in love agrees to go to hell.
Lovers don't care what to wear,
What to lay on the ground, what to put under your head!

Better to fall into poverty, starve or steal,
How to become one of the despicable dishevelers.
It's better to gnaw on bones than to be seduced by sweets
At the table of the scoundrels in power.

Be easier on people. Do you want to be wiser -
Don't hurt with your wisdom.

Have smaller friends, don't expand their circle.
And remember: better than close ones, a friend living far away.
Take a calm look at everyone who is sitting around.
In whom you saw support, you will suddenly see your enemy.

Communicating with a fool will not lead to shame.
Therefore, listen to Khayyam’s advice:
Take the poison offered to you by the sage,
Do not accept balm from the hands of a fool.

Can only be shown to sighted people.
Sing the song only to those who hear.
Give yourself to someone who will be grateful
Who understands, loves and appreciates.

You must be good with both friend and enemy! He who is good by nature will not find malice in him. If you offend a friend, you will make an enemy; if you hug an enemy, you will gain a friend.

In this unfaithful world, don’t be a fool: Don’t you dare rely on those around you. Look with a firm eye at your closest friend - A friend may turn out to be your worst enemy.
