Aphorisms, quotes, sayings, phrases Omar Khayyam

• Those who lose heart die before their time.
• Don't complain about pain - that's the best medicine.
• It's better to be alone than with just anyone.
• To grow a shoot of despondency in the soul is a crime.
• Where, when and who, my dear, managed to please yourself before losing your desires?
• In order for the ears, eyes and tongue to be intact, one must be hard of hearing, blind, and dumb.
• Evil is not born from good and vice versa. Human eyes are given to us to distinguish them!
• You find a reason for every step - Meanwhile, it has long been predetermined in heaven.
• If a vile person pours medicine for you, pour it out! If a wise man pours poison on you, accept it!
• 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.
• It is better to gnaw on bones than to be seduced by sweets at the table of scoundrels in power.
• Life is a desert, we wander through it naked. Mortal, full of pride, you are simply ridiculous!
• 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.
• From feigned love there is no quenching, No matter how the rotten thing shines, there is no burning. Day and night there is no peace for a lover, For months there is no moment of oblivion!
• 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.
• 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!
• Communicating with a fool will not bring you shame. Therefore, 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.
• No one saw either heaven or hell; Has anyone returned from there to our corruptible world? But these ghosts are fruitless for us And the source of fears and hopes is unchanging.
• He is too zealous and shouts: “It’s me!” The gold coin in the wallet is strumming: “It’s me!” But as soon as he has time to get things going, Death knocks on the braggart’s window: “It’s me!”
• I have made knowledge my craft, I am familiar with the highest truth and base evil. I have unraveled all the tight knots in the world, Except death, tied in a dead knot.
• One work that is always shameful is to extol 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.
• Someone wise inspired me, who was dozing off: “Wake up! You can't become happy in a dream. Give up this activity, which is similar to death. After death, Khayyam, you will get a good night’s sleep!”
• It’s better to give happiness to someone close than to suffer uselessly for the sake of common happiness. It is better to tie a friend to yourself with kindness, Than to free humanity from its shackles.
• To live your life wisely, you need to know a lot. Remember two important rules to begin with: You’d better starve than eat anything, And it’s better to be alone than with just anyone.
• Since the truth always gets out of hand. Don’t try to understand the incomprehensible, friend! Take the cup in your hands, remain ignorant. Believe me, there is no point in studying science! I don’t remember who translated it, honestly.
• If I had power over this evil sky, I would crush it and replace it with another, So that there would be no barriers to noble aspirations and a person could live without being tormented by melancholy.
• At heart you are an atheist with Scripture in your hand, Even though you have memorized the letters in each line. It's no use hitting the ground with your head, but hit the ground with everything that's in your head!
• Love is a fatal misfortune, but the misfortune is by the will of Allah. Why do you blame what is always by the will of Allah? A series of both evil and good arose - by the will of Allah. Why do we need thunder and flames of Judgment - according to the will of Allah?
• 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?
• 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!
• 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!
• If you recognize the superiority of others, that means you are a husband. If you are the master of your actions, that means you are a husband. There is no honor in the humiliation of one who is defeated, Kind to those who have fallen in misfortune, that means a husband!
• Not appropriate good people to offend, It is not proper 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!
• Only the essence, how worthy of men, speak, Only answering - the words, master - speak. There are two ears, but one tongue is not given by chance - Listen twice and speak only once!
• I know this type of pompous asses: Empty as a drum, but so many loud words! They are slaves of names. Just make up a name for yourself, And any of them is ready to crawl before you.
• 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!
• How long will you please all sorts of beasts? Only a fly can give his soul for food! Feed on the blood of your heart, but be independent. It is better to swallow tears than to gnaw on scraps.
• He who, from his youth, believes in his own mind, has become dry and gloomy in pursuit of the truth. Claiming from childhood to know life, without becoming a grape, he turned into a raisin.
• Nobility is born through suffering, friend, Is it given to every drop to become a pearl? You can lose everything, save only your soul, - The cup will be filled again, if only there was wine.

* * *

Without hops and smiles - what kind of life?
Without the sweet sounds of a flute, what is life?
Everything you see in the sun is worth little.
But at the feast, life is bright and bright!

* * *

One refrain from my Wisdom:
“Life is short, so give it free rein!
It's smart to trim trees,
But cutting yourself off is much stupider!”

* * *

Live, madman!.. Spend while you're rich!
After all, you yourself are not a precious treasure.
And don’t dream - thieves won’t agree
Get you back out of the coffin!

* * *

Have you been passed over for a reward? Forget it.
Are the days rushing by? Forget it.
The Wind is careless: in the eternal Book of Life
I could have moved the wrong page...

* * *

What's there behind the shabby curtain of Darkness?
Minds are confused in fortune-telling.
When the curtain falls with a crash,
We will all see how wrong we were.

* * *

I would compare the world to a chessboard:
Now it’s day, now it’s night... And the pawns? - we are with you.
They move you, press you, and beat you.
And they put it in a dark box to rest.

* * *

The world could be compared to a piebald nag,
And this horseman - who could he be?
“Neither day nor night, he doesn’t believe in anything!”
- Where does he get the strength to live?

* * *

Youth has sped away - a fugitive spring -
To the underground kingdoms in the halo of sleep,
Like a miracle bird, with gentle cunning,
It curled and shone here - and is not visible...

* * *

Dreams are dust! There is no place for them in the world.
And even if the youthful delirium had come true?
What if it snowed in the hot desert?
An hour or two of rays - and there is no snow!

* * *

“The world is piling up such mountains of evil!
Their eternal oppression over the heart is so heavy!”
But if only you could dig them up! How many wonderful
You would find shining diamonds!

* * *

Life passes by like a flying caravan.
The halt is short... Is the glass full?
Beauty, come to me! Will lower the curtain
There is a dormant fog above the sleepy happiness.

* * *

In one young temptation - feel everything!
In one string melody - listen to everything!
Don't go into the darkening distances:
Live in a short bright streak.

* * *

Good and evil are at war: the world is on fire.
What about the sky? The sky is to the side.
Curses and furious hymns
They don’t reach the blue heights.

* * *

On the sparkle of days, clutched in your hand,
You can't buy Secrets somewhere far away.
And here - a lie is a hair's breadth from the Truth,
And your life is on the line.

* * *

In moments He is visible, more often he is hidden.
He keeps a close eye on our lives.
God whiles away eternity with our drama!
He composes, directs and watches.

* * *

Although my figure is slimmer than a poplar,
Although the cheeks are a fiery tulip,
But why is the artist wayward?
Did you bring my shadow into your motley booth?

* * *

The devotees were exhausted from thoughts.
And the same secrets dry out the wise mind.
For us ignoramuses, fresh grape juice,
And for them, the great ones, dried raisins!

* * *

What do I care about the bliss of heaven - “later”?
I ask now, cash, wine...
I don’t believe in credit! And what do I need Glory for:
Right under your ear – drumming thunder?!

* * *

Wine is not only a friend. Wine is a sage:
With him, the misunderstandings and heresies are over!
Wine is an alchemist: transforms at once
Life's lead into golden dust.

* * *

As before the bright, royal leader,
As before a scarlet, fiery sword -
Shadows and fears are a black infection -
A horde of enemies is running before the wine!

* * *

Guilt! “I don’t ask for anything else.”
Love! “I don’t ask for anything else.”
“Will heaven give you forgiveness?”
They don’t offer, I don’t ask.

* * *

You are drunk - and rejoice, Khayyam!
You won - and rejoice. Khayyam!
Nothing will come and put an end to these nonsense...
You are still alive - and rejoice, Khayyam.

* * *

There is a lot of wisdom in the words of the Koran,
But wine teaches the same wisdom.
On each cup there is a life inscription:
“Put your mouth on it and you will see the bottom!”

* * *

I am near the wine like a willow near a stream:
A foamy stream waters my root.
So God judged! Was he thinking about anything?
And if I had stopped drinking, I would have let him down!

* * *

The shine of the tiara, the silk turban,
I will give everything - and your power, Sultan,
I'll give the saint with a rosary to boot
For the sounds of the flute and... another glass!

* * *

In scholarship there is no meaning, no boundaries.
Will reveal more of the secret flutter of eyelashes.
Drink! The Book of Life will end sadly.
Decorate the flickering borders with wine!

* * *

All the kingdoms of the world - for a glass of wine!
All the wisdom of books - for the pungency of wine!
All honors - for the shine and velvet of wine!
All the music is for the gurgling of wine!

* * *

The ashes of the sages are sad, my young friend.
Their lives are scattered, my young friend.
“But their proud lessons resonate with us!”
And this is the wind of words, my young friend.

* * *

I greedily inhaled all the aromas,
Drank all the rays. And he wanted all the women.
What's life? - The earthly stream flashed in the sun
And somewhere in a black crack he disappeared.

* * *

Prepare wine for wounded love!
Muscat and scarlet, like blood.
Flood the fire, sleepless, hidden,
And entangle your soul in string silk again.

* * *

There is no love in those who are not tormented by violence,
There is damp smoke in that twig.
Love is a bonfire, blazing, sleepless...
The lover is wounded. He is incurable!

* * *

To reach her cheeks - tender roses?
First there are thousands of splinters in the heart!
So the comb: they will cut it into small teeth,
May you float sweeter in the luxury of your hair!

* * *

Until the wind carries away even a spark, -
Inflame her with the joy of the vines!
While at least the shadow remains of its former strength, -
Unravel the knots of your fragrant braids!

* * *

You are a warrior with a net: catch hearts!
A jug of wine - and into the shade of a tree.
The stream sings: “You will die and become clay.
The lunar shine of the face is given for a short time.”

* * *

“Don’t drink, Khayyam!” Well, how can I explain to them?
That I don’t agree to live in the dark!
And the sparkle of wine and the wicked gaze of the sweet one -
Here are two brilliant reasons to drink!

* * *

They tell me: “Khayyam, don’t drink wine!”
But what should we do? Only a drunk can hear
The hyacinth's tender speech to the tulip,
Which she doesn't tell me!

* * *

Have fun!.. Can't catch a stream in captivity?
But the running stream caresses!
Is there no consistency in women and in life?
But it’s your turn!

* * *

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

* * *

Is scarlet rosehip tender? You are more tender.
Is the Chinese idol curvy? You are more magnificent.
Is the chess king weak in front of the queen?
But I, fool, am weaker in front of you!

* * *

We bring life to love - the last gift?
The blow is placed close to the heart.
But even a moment before death - give me your lips,
O sweet cup of tender enchantment!

* * *

“Our world is an alley of young roses,
Chorus of nightingales and chatter of dragonflies.”
And in the fall? "Silence and stars,
And the darkness of your fluffy hair..."

* * *

“There are four elements. It’s like there are five feelings,
And a hundred riddles." Is it worth counting?
Play the lute, the lute’s voice is sweet:
In him the wind of life is a master of intoxication...

* * *

In the heavenly cup there is the hop of airy roses.
Break the glass of vain petty dreams!
Why worries, honors, dreams?
The sound of quiet strings... and the delicate silk of hair...

* * *

You're not the only one unhappy. Don't be angry
By the tenacity of Heaven. Renew your strength
On a young breast, elastically tender...
You will find delight. And don't look for love.

* * *

I'm young again. Scarlet wine,
Give joy to your soul! And at the same time
Give bitterness both tart and fragrant...
Life is a bitter and drunken wine!

* * *

Today is an orgy - with my wife,
The barren daughter of empty Wisdom,
I divorce! Friends, I'm delighted too
And I will marry the daughter of a simple vine...

* * *

Venus and the Moon have not seen
The earthly shine is sweeter than wine.
Sell ​​wine? Although gold is weighty, -
The mistake of poor sellers is clear.

* * *

The huge ruby ​​of the sun shone
In my wine: dawn! Take sandalwood:
Make one piece like a melodious lute,
The other one is to light it so that the world smells fragrant.

* * *

“A weak man is an unfaithful slave of fate,
I am exposed, a shameless slave!”
Especially in love. I myself, I am the first
Always unfaithful and weak towards many.

* * *

The dark hoop of days has bound our hands -
Days without wine, without thoughts about her...
Stingy with time and charges for them
The entire price of full, real days!

* * *

Where is there even a hint of the mystery of life?
In your night wanderings - where is there even a light?
Under the wheel, in unquenchable torture
Souls are burning. Where's the smoke?

* * *

How good the world is, how fresh the fire of the morning stars!
And there is no Creator before whom to prostrate.
But the roses cling, the lips beckon with delight...
Don't touch the lutes: we'll listen to the birds.

* * *

Feast! You'll get back on track again.
Why run forward or backward! -
At the festival of freedom the mind is small:
He is our prison everyday robe.

* * *

Empty happiness is an upstart, not a friend!
With new wine, I’m an old friend!
I love to stroke the noble cup:
His blood is boiling. He feels like a friend.

* * *

There lived a drunkard. Seven jugs of wine
It fit into it. It seemed so to everyone.
And he himself was an empty clay jug...
The other day I crashed... To pieces! At all!

* * *

Days are river waves in minute silver,
Desert sand in a melting game.
Live today. And Yesterday and Tomorrow
Not so needed in the earthly calendar.

* * *

How eerie on a starry night! Not myself.
You are trembling, lost in the abyss of the world.
And the stars are in a violent dizziness
They rush past, into eternity, along a curve...

* * *

Autumn rain sowed drops in the garden.
The flowers have come up. They dapple and burn.
But sprinkle scarlet hops into the cup of lilies -
Like blue smoke magnolia aroma...

* * *

I am old. My love for you is intoxication.
I'm drunk with date wine this morning.
Where is the rose of days? Cruelly plucked.
I am humiliated by love, drunk with life!

* * *

What's life? Bazaar... Don't look for a friend there.
What's life? Bruise... Don't look for medicine.
Don't change yourself. Smile at people.
But don’t look for people’s smiles.

* * *

From the neck of a jug on the table
Wine is bleeding. And everything is in her warmth:
Truthfulness, affection, devoted friendship -
The only friendship on earth!

* * *

Fewer friends! Same day by day
Extinguish empty sparks of fire.
And when you shake hands, always think silently:
“Oh, they’ll swing it at me!”

* * *

“In honor of the sun - a cup, our scarlet tulip!
In honor of the scarlet lips - and he is drunk with love!”
Feast, merry! Life is a heavy fist:
Everyone will be thrown over dead into the fog.

* * *

The rose laughed: “Dear breeze
Tore off my silk, opened my wallet,
And the whole treasury of golden stamens,
Look, he freely threw it on the sand.”

* * *

The wrath of the rose: “How, me, the queen of roses -
The merchant will take the heat of fragrant tears
Will it burn you out of your heart with evil pain?!” Secret!..
Sing, nightingale! "A day of laughter - years of tears."

* * *

I started a bed of Wisdom in the garden.
I cherished it, watered it - and I’m waiting...
The harvest is approaching, and from the garden there is a voice:
“I came with the rain and I will go with the wind.”

* * *

I ask: “What did I have?
What's ahead?.. He was rushing about, raging...
And you will become dust, and people will say:
“A short fire broke out somewhere.”

* * *

– What is a song, cups, caresses without warmth? -
- Toys, trash from the children's corner.
– What about prayers, deeds and sacrifices?
– Burnt and decaying ash.

* * *

Night. Night is all around. Rip her up, excite her!
Prison!.. That's it, your first kiss,
Adam and Eve: gave us life and bitterness,
It was an angry and predatory kiss.

* * *

- How the rooster fought at dawn!
“He saw clearly: the fire of the stars had gone out.
And the night, like your life, was in vain.
And you overslept. And you don’t know - you’re deaf.

* * *

The fish said: “Shall we swim soon?
It’s creepy in the ditch—it’s a cramped body of water.”
“That’s how they’ll fry us,” said the duck, “
It’s all the same: even if there’s sea all around!”

* * *

“From end to end we are on our way to death.
We cannot turn back from the brink of death.”
Look: in the local caravanserai
Don't accidentally forget your love!

* * *

“I have been to the very bottom of the depths.
Took off towards Saturn. There are no such sorrows
Such networks that I cannot unravel..."
Eat! Dark knot of death. He's alone!

* * *

“Death will appear and mow down in reality,
Silent days, withered grass..."
Make a jug from my ashes:
I will refresh myself with wine and come to life.

* * *

Potter. There is noise all around on market day...
He tramples clay all day long.
And she babbles in a faded voice:
“Brother, have pity, come to your senses - you are my brother!..”

* * *

Stir a clay vessel with moisture:
You will hear the babble of lips, not just streams.
Whose ashes are these? I kiss the edge and shudder:
It seemed like a kiss was given to me.

* * *

No potter. I'm alone in the workshop.
Two thousand jugs are in front of me.
And they whisper: “Let's present ourselves to a stranger
For a moment, a crowd of dressed-up people.”

* * *

Who was this tender vase?
A lover! Sad and bright.
What about the handles of the vase? With a flexible hand
She wrapped her arms around her neck, as before.

* * *

What's a scarlet poppy? Blood sprayed out
From the wounds of the Sultan, taken by the earth.
And in the hyacinth - it broke out from the ground
And the young lock curled again.

* * *

A flower trembles above the mirror of the stream;
It contains the ashes of a woman: a familiar stalk.
Do not forget the tulips of coastal greenery:
And in them there is a gentle blush and reproach...

* * *

The dawns shone for people - even before us!
The stars flowed like an arc - even to us!
In a lump of gray dust, under your foot
You crushed the shining young eye.

* * *

It's getting light. The late lights are going out.
Hopes were ignited. It’s always like this, all day!
And when it glows, the candles will be lit again,
And the late lights in the heart go out.

* * *

To involve Love in a secret conspiracy!
Hug the whole world, raise Love to you,
So that the world falls from a height and breaks,
So that he can rise again from the rubble as the best!

* * *

God is in the veins of days. Entire life -
His game. From mercury it is living silver.
It will sparkle with the moon, become silver with a fish...
He is all flexible, and death is His game.

* * *

The drop said goodbye to the sea - all in tears!
The Sea laughed freely - everything was in the rays!
“Fly to the sky, fall to the ground,”
There is only one end: again – in my waves.”

* * *

Doubt, faith, ardor of living passions -
Game of air bubbles:
That one flashed like a rainbow, and this one was gray...
And they will all fly away! This is people's lives.

* * *

One trusts the running days,
The other is for vague dreams of tomorrow,
And the muezzin speaks from the tower of darkness:
“Fools! The reward is not here, and not there!”

* * *

Imagine yourself as a pillar of science,
Try to drive in a hook to catch on.
Into the gaps of two abysses - Yesterday and Tomorrow...
Better yet, drink! Don't waste your efforts.

* * *

I was also attracted by the scientists' halo.
I listened to them from a young age, debated them,
I sat with them... But by the same door
I came out the same way I came in.

* * *

Mysterious miracle: “You are in me.”
It was given to me in the darkness like a torch.
I wander after him and always stumble:
Our very blind “You are in me.”

* * *

It was as if a key had been found for the door.
It was as if there was a bright ray in the fog.
There was a revelation about “I” and “You”...
A moment - darkness! And the key sank into the abyss!

* * *

How! To pay for rubbish with gold of merit -
For this life? An agreement has been imposed
The debtor is deceived, weak... And they will drag him to court
No talking. Clever lender!

* * *

Inhale the world's fumes from someone else's cooking?!
Put a hundred patches on the holes in life?!
Pay losses on the accounts of the Universe?!
- No! I'm not that hard-working and rich!

* * *

Firstly, they gave me life without asking.
Then the discrepancy in feelings began.
Now they're driving me out... I'll leave! Agree!
But the intention is unclear: where is the connection?

* * *

Traps, pits on my way.
God arranged them. And he told me to go.
And he foresaw everything. And he left me.
And the one who did not want to save judges!

* * *

Filling life with the temptation of bright days,
Filling the soul with the flame of passions,
The God of renunciation demands: here is the cup -
It’s full: bend it and don’t spill it!

* * *

You put our heart into a dirty lump.
You let an insidious snake into heaven.
And to the person - You are the accuser, aren't you?
Hurry up and ask him to forgive you!

* * *

You came, Lord, like a hurricane:
Threw a handful of dust into my mouth, my glass
Turned it over and spilled the priceless hops...
Who of us two is drunk today?

* * *

I loved idols superstitiously.
But they are lying. No one is strong enough...
I sold my good name for a song,
And he drowned his glory in a small mug.

* * *

Execute and prepare the soul of Eternity,
Make vows, reject love.
And there is spring! He will come and take out the roses.
And the cloak of repentance is torn again!

* * *

All the joys you desire - tear them off!
Wide the cup of happiness!
Heaven will not appreciate your hardships.
So flow, wine, songs, overflowing!

* * *

Monasteries, mosques, synagogues
And God saw a lot of cowards in them.
But not in hearts freed by the sun,
Bad seeds: slave anxieties.

* * *

I enter the mosque. The hour is late and dull.
I am not thirsty for a miracle and not with a prayer:
Once upon a time I pulled a rug from here,
And he was worn out. We need another...

* * *

Be a freethinker! Remember our vow:
“The saint is narrow, the hypocrite is cruel.”
Khayyam’s sermon sounds stubborn:
“Be a robber, but be wide-hearted!”

* * *

The soul is light with wine! Pay tribute to her:
The jug is round and sonorous. And minting
With love, a cup: so that it shines
And the golden edge was reflected.

* * *

In wine I see the scarlet spirit of fire
And the shine of needles. Cup for me
Crystal - a living fragment of the sky.

Omar Khayyam quotes about life

_____________________________________

The lower man soul, the higher nose up. He reaches with his nose to where his soul has not grown.

______________________

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.

______________________

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!

______________________

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...

______________________

You like even the shortcomings in a loved one, and even the advantages in an unloved person irritate you.

______________________

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,

______________________

The discouraged dies prematurely

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!

______________________

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

______________________

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

______________________

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.

______________________

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.

______________________

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.

* * *
Omar Khayyam (c. 1048 - after 1122) Persian and Tajik poet, philosopher, sage, scientist... the most beloved, read and quoted poet in the world

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

“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.

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!

IN God's temple don't let me in the door.
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.

As children we go to teachers for truth,
Afterwards they come to our doors for the truth.
Where is the truth? We emerged from a drop.
Let's become the wind. This is the meaning of this tale, Khayyam!

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.

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 it with your friend on time -
All your property will go to the enemy.

In this perishable Universe in due time
A man and a flower turn to dust.
If only the ashes evaporated from under our feet -
A bloody stream would rain down from the sky!

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!

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

Even the brightest minds in the world
They could not disperse the surrounding darkness.
They told us several bedtime stories -
And the wise ones went to sleep, just like us.

The doors of this monastery: exit and entrance.
What awaits us besides death, fear, adversity?
Happiness? Happy is he who lives even for a moment.
Those who were not born at all are happier.

Before you were born you didn't need anything
And having been born, you are doomed to need everything.
Only after throwing off the oppression of an insatiable body,
You will become free, like God, and rich again.

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!

If God doesn't hear me on high -
I will turn my prayers to Satan.
If my desires are not pleasing to God -
So the devil inspires desires in me!

If Guria kisses you passionately on the mouth,
If your interlocutor is wiser than Christ,
If a musician is better than the heavenly Zukhra -
Everything is not a joy if your conscience is unclean!

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 find a friend.

If I break my fast for carnal pleasures -
Do not think that I am the most wicked of all.
Just fast days are like black nights,
And, as you know, sinning at night is not a sin!

If a worker, by the sweat of his brow
He who earns bread has gained nothing -
Why should he bow to a nonentity?
Or even someone who is no worse than him?

If you have a nook to live in -
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.

Life is ashamed of those who sit and mourn,
He who does not remember pleasures does not forgive insults.
Sing until your chang's strings break!
Drink until the vessel is broken on a stone!

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.

Life is slipping away, darkness is approaching,
Death torments hearts and shreds bodies,
There are no returnees from the afterlife,
Who should I ask: how are things going there?

Meet only people worthy of friendship,
Don’t deal with scoundrels, don’t disgrace yourself.
If a vile person pours medicine for you, pour it out!
If a wise man gives you poison, take it!

Of those who have traversed the world both lengthwise and crosswise,
Of those whom the Creator doomed to search,
Has anyone found anything like this?
What did we not know and what benefited us?

So it was written by the prophet: better is the infidel,
If he is a Muslim he will be more generous.

It's better to gnaw on bones than to be seduced by sweets
At the table of the scoundrels in power.

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

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

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 is unworthy to strive for anyone’s plate,
Like a greedy fly, risking itself.
It’s better that Khayyam doesn’t have a crumb,
What will the scoundrel feed him for slaughter!

Don't beg for love, loving hopelessly,
Do not wander under the window of an unfaithful woman, grieving.
Like beggar dervishes, be independent -
Maybe then they will love you.

Is this really our miserable lot?
To be slaves to our lustful bodies?
After all, no one living in the world has yet
I couldn’t quench my desires!

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!

O soul! You turned me into a servant.
I feel your anger at every step.
Why was I born into the world, if in the world
Still can't change anything?

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!

Why is the almighty creator of our bodies
Didn’t want to give us immortality?
If we are perfect, why do we die?
If they are imperfect, then who is the bastard?

We are the beacon of thought, the vessel of compassion.
The focus of the highest knowledge is us.
The saying on this divine ring,
On the priceless ring of the universe - we are!

Like the sun, love burns without burning out.
Like a bird of heavenly paradise - love.
But still dislike is the nightingale's moans.
Do not moan, dying of love - love!

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.

Because the truth always gets out of hand
Don't try to understand something you don't understand, friend.
Take the cup in your hands, remain ignorant,
There is no point, believe me, in studying science!

Since one cannot delay one's own death,
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 potter who molded the clay of our heads,
He surpassed any masters in his field.
He overturned the cup over the table of existence
And filled her to the brim with passions.

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 sort things out -
Death knocks on the braggart’s window: “It’s me!”

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, 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!

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!

You are a mine, if you go in search of a ruby,
You are loved if you live in the hope of a date.
Delve into the essence of these words - both simple and wise:
Everything you are looking for, you will certainly find in yourself!

The actions of the creator are worthy of surprise!
Our hearts are filled with bitterness,
We leave this world without knowing
No beginning, no meaning, no end.

Those who lose heart die before their time.

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.

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.

Why suffer needlessly for the sake of common happiness -
It’s better to give happiness to someone close.
It’s better to tie a friend to yourself with kindness,
How to free humanity from its shackles.

So that the ears, eyes and tongue are intact, -
You have to be hard of hearing, blind, dumb.
Who is worthy in deeds to be called a husband,
The stronger you are, the more capable you are of accepting humility.

I will teach you how to please everyone:
Spread smiles left and right,
Praise Jews, Muslims and Christians -
And you will gain good fame for yourself.

I cannot lay my head anywhere.
To believe in a grave world - alas! - I can not.
Believe that, having decayed, I will rise from the dust
Even with a stalk of green grass, I can’t.

I have made knowledge my craft,
I am familiar with the highest truth and the basest evil.
I unraveled all the tight knots in the world,
Except for death, tied in a dead knot.

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

Where, when and who, my dear, succeeded
To the point of losing the desire to please yourself?

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 he can, then they won’t be together for long.
........................................
Copyright: Omar Khayyam quotes aphorisms

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?

It’s better to starve than to eat anything, and it’s better to be alone than with 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.

It is not proper to offend good people, it is not proper 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

Since one cannot delay one's own death,
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 is rushing 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.
