Omar Khayyam is a sage, mathematician, astronomer and poet. In this article, we have collected the best quotes from Khayyam in poetic form - rubai about life, love and wine.

Omar Khayyam devoted himself to the study of life itself. He did a lot of scientific work in such areas as mathematics, astronomy, medicine, philosophy, but the world remembered him most of all as a poet, author of the quatrains of Rubai. Unfortunately, during Khayyam's life, his extraordinary mind was not appreciated. He was remembered only in the 19th century, when world fame came to him.

In his rubaiyam, Khayyam raises questions about the meaning of being, chastity, happiness, love, friendship and, of course, about his favorite drink - wine.

About life

1 -

Do not envy someone who is strong and rich. Dawn is always followed by sunset. With this life, short, equal to a sigh, treat it as a loan given to you.

2 -

Whoever is beaten by life will achieve more. Those who eat a pood of salt value honey higher. Who shed tears, he laughs sincerely. Who died, he knows that he lives!

3 -

“Hell and heaven are in heaven,” say the bigots. Having looked into myself, I was 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.

4 -

Everything is bought and sold, and life openly laughs at us. We are indignant, we are indignant, but we buy and sell.

5 -

Do not mourn, mortal, yesterday's losses, do not measure today's deeds by tomorrow's yardstick. Believe it neither in the past nor in the coming minute. Believe the current minute - be happy now!

About love

6 -

Yes, in a woman, as in a book, there is wisdom. Only the literate is able to understand its great meaning. And do not be angry with the book, since the ignoramus did not manage to read it.

7 -

In one hand there are flowers, in the other - a glass of permanent, feast with your beloved, forgetting about the whole Universe, until death a tornado suddenly rips off the petals from you, like roses, a shirt of mortal life.

8 -

Who is ugly, who is handsome - does not know passion. A madman in love agrees to go to hell. It makes no difference to those in love what to wear, what to lay on the ground, what to put under their heads.

9 -

Whose heart does not burn with passionate love for a sweetheart, without consolation drags out its dull century. I consider the days spent without the joys of love to be an unnecessary and hateful burden.

10 -

To love and be loved is happiness. You protect from simple bad weather. And taking the reins of love together greedily in your hands, never let go, even living in separation …

About wine

11 -

They say that drunkards will go to hell. It's all nonsense! If the drinkers were sent to hell, and all the women lovers there after them, your Garden of Eden would become empty as a palm.

12 -

Heart! Let the cunning, conspiring at the same time, condemn wine, they say, it is harmful. If you want to wash your soul and your body, listen to poetry more often while drinking wine.

13 -

The garden is blooming, a friend and a bowl of wine is my paradise. I don't want to find myself in something else. Yes, no one has seen heavenly paradise! So for now, let us be comforted in the earthly.

14 -

But wine teaches the same wisdom, on each goblet there is a life recipe: "Lean your lips - and you will see the bottom!"

15 -

Wine is forbidden, but there are four buts: it depends on who, with whom, when and in moderation he drinks wine. Subject to these four conditions, all sane people are allowed wine.
