Omar Khayyam famous quotes. Omar Khayyam: a great thinker and a brilliant poet

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.

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!

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

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.

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 pour 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 during my lifetime 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.

The sayings of Omar Khayyam, the great poet of the East and one of the most famous sages and philosophers, passed down from generation to generation, are filled with deep meaning, the brightness of the image and the grace of the rhythm.

With Khayyam's characteristic wit and sarcasticness, he created sayings that amaze with their humor and slyness.

They give strength in difficult times, help to cope with surging problems, distract from troubles, make you think and reason.

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!

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,
Don't forget: she is your creation.

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 steady 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 find a friend.

______________________

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...

______________________

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.
With this short life, equal
Treat it like it's rented to you!

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 is an eastern philosopher, every person on this planet has heard about him, in all religions Omar Khayyam 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 a person’s soul, the higher his nose turns 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: you’d rather starve than 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.

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. Better than a friend To bind to oneself 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 every line. It's no use hitting the ground with your head, Better 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!
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!
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.
