Omar Khayyam sayings. Wise thoughts of Omar Khayyam about life

Omar Khayyam is rightfully considered one of the greatest scientists and philosophers of the medieval East. This is truly a multifaceted personality, who has been glorified over the centuries not only by wise aphorisms about love, happiness, and more, but also by scientific works on mathematics, astronomy and physics.

And this makes Omar a very significant figure in the arena of human achievements over many centuries: not every person could boast of such talents: very few people like Omar Khayyam or Leonardo Da Vinci were born when a person is talented in everything, a kind of pearl of humanity.















Most often, Omar Khayyam formatted his statements in rubai - poems that were quite difficult to compose, consisting of four lines, three of which rhymed with each other (and sometimes all four). The poet, in the truest sense of the word, was in love with life, with the diversity of its forms, and therefore he witty aphorisms filled with deep meaning, which the reader does not manage to understand the first time.

Having written rubai in the medieval East, where blasphemy was strictly condemned, including the death penalty, Omar Khayyam, despite the danger of persecution, clothed his wisdom in written form, and, according to researchers, it was written under the authorship of Omar about three hundred to five hundred rubai.

Just imagine - aphorisms about life, happiness, witty quotes, and simply Eastern wisdom, relevant even now for each of us.











Although everything remains in order five thousand rubai, allegedly under the authorship of Omar Khayyam, most likely, these are statements about happiness and more, of his contemporaries, who were afraid to bring severe punishment on their heads, and therefore, attributing their creations to the poet and philosopher.


Omar Khayyam, unlike them, was not afraid of punishment, and therefore his aphorisms often ridicule the gods and power, belittling their importance in people’s lives, and he did it correctly. After all, the same happiness does not lie in blind obedience to theological books or the commands of kings. Happiness is living your best best years in agreement with oneself, and the poet’s quotes help to realize this simple, but such an important fact.











The best and wittiest of his sayings are presented before you, and are presented in interesting photos. After all, when you read a text with meaning not just in black and white, but elegantly designed, then you remember it much better, which is an excellent workout for the mind.











In a conversation with your interlocutor, you can always effectively insert witty quotes, showing off your erudition. You can instill in your child a love of poetry by showing him several photos where the most beautiful rubai about friendship or happiness are beautifully decorated. Read together these wise sayings authored by Omar Khayyam, imbued with his every word.

His quotes about happiness amaze with such a clear understanding of the world and soul of a person as an individual. Omar Khayyam seems to be talking to us, his aphorisms and quotes seem to be written not for everyone, but for each individual, reading his statements, we are involuntarily amazed at the depth of the images and the brightness of the metaphors.














The immortal rubai survived their creator for many centuries, and despite the fact that for a long time remained in oblivion until Victorian era was not by luck, a notebook was discovered containing sayings and aphorisms that Omar wrote, expressed in poetic form, and eventually gained wild popularity first in England, and a little later throughout the world, when his statements scattered throughout to the world, like birds, bringing into the home of everyone who read the poet’s quotes a little bit of oriental wisdom.



Omar probably had no idea that for most of our contemporaries he would be known precisely as a poet and philosopher, rather than a great scientist. Most likely, both of these areas of his activity were the passion of his whole life, Omar showed by his example real life when, if you wish, you can have time to do everything.

Often people, in whose minds a lot of talent has been invested, are left alone - their activities take too much energy, but the poet ended his life surrounded by a large family and close friends. He did not become ossified and did not go entirely into science and philosophy, and this is worth a lot.

His quotes in the form of photos can be viewed on our website, and perhaps your favorite ones

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.

And I will marry the daughter of a simple vine...

The earthly shine is sweeter than wine.

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!

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...

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!

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:

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 scarlet poppy? Blood sprayed out
From the wounds of the Sultan, taken by the earth.
And in the hyacinth - it broke out of the ground
And the young curl 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. All 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 soap 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 paradise.
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.

    Buddy, I know of much worse things.
  • As children we go to teachers for truth,

    Would [the Almighty] give me something not as a reward, but as a gift!

    Then who do you order to be allowed into heaven?

    The sky is full of beauties, from the beginning of existence,
    It turned, my friend, into bowls and jugs - I know.
  • If only I had power over this evil sky,
    I would crush it and replace it with another...

    Tulips grow from the blood of kings,
    Violets grow from the ashes of beauties,
    From the captivating moles between the eyebrows.
  • But these ghosts are barren (hell and heaven) for us
    Both fears and hopes are an unchanging source.

Quotes and aphorisms

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

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

Who beaten by life was, he will achieve more,
He who has eaten a pound of salt appreciates honey more.
He who shed tears laughs sincerely,
He who has died knows that he lives.

Don't forget that you are not alone:
And in the most difficult moments, God is next to you.

Never go back. There is no point in going back anymore. Even if there are the same eyes in which thoughts were drowning. Even if you are drawn to where everything was so nice, don’t ever go there, forget forever what happened. The same people live in the past that they always promised to love. If you remember this, forget it, don’t ever go there. Don't trust them, they are strangers. After all, they once left you. They killed faith in their souls, in love, in people and in themselves. Just live what you live and even though life looks like hell, look only forward, never go back.

A pensive soul tends toward loneliness.

I have never been repulsed by a person’s poverty; it’s another matter if his soul and thoughts are poor.

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.

Live at least a hundred years, at least ten hundred years,
You still have to leave this world.
Be a padishah or a beggar at the market,
There is only one price for you: there are no dignities for death.

Love can do without reciprocity, but friendship never can.

When you leave for five minutes,
Don't forget to keep your palms warm.
In the palms of those who are waiting for you,
In the palms of those who remember you...

No matter how great your wisdom is, it gives you as much milk as a goat’s milk! Isn't it wiser to just play the fool? “You’ll be better off for sure.”

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.

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...

I asked the wisest: “What have you learned?
From your manuscripts? The wisest one said:
“Happy is he who is in the arms of a tender beauty
At night I’m far from the wisdom of books!”

Be happy in this moment. This moment is your life.

The lower a person's soul,
The higher the nose lifts!
He reaches his nose there,
Where the soul has not grown...

Don't say the man is a womanizer. If he had been monogamous, it wouldn’t have been your turn.

I think it's better to be alone
How to give the heat of the soul to “someone”
Giving a priceless gift to just anyone
Once you meet your loved one, you will not be able to fall in love.

Those who lose heart die before their time.

Don’t trust someone who speaks beautifully, there is always a game in his words.
Trust the one who silently does beautiful things.

Don't be afraid to give warming words,
And do good deeds.
The more wood you put on the fire,
The more heat will return.

Passion cannot be friends with deep love,
If he can, then they won’t be together for long.

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.

Instead of looking for the truth, we would milk a goat!

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

Above all the teachings and rules on how to live correctly, I chose to affirm two foundations of dignity: It is better not to eat anything at all than to eat just anything; It's better to be alone than to be friends with just anyone.

Life is ashamed of those who sit and mourn,
He who does not remember joys does not forgive insults...
