On May 18 we honor the memory of the great Persian thinker and poet Omar Khayyam. He was born in 1048 and is known throughout the world as a philosopher, doctor, astronomer, mathematician and lover of life.

He became famous for expressing his thoughts about life, love, happiness and deep wisdom in poetic aphorisms - the quatrains of the Rubai. They have reached us and are understandable and close to people after many centuries. His statements penetrate directly into the hearts, help to change and live correctly. They are simple, kind and often humorous. I offer you the most striking quotes from the great writer.

The lower a person's soul,

the higher the nose lifts.

He reaches his nose there,

Where the soul has not grown.

After all, we can learn beauty.

When a man is beautiful in soul -

Man, as if in a mirror, the world has many faces.

He is insignificant - and he is immeasurably great!

We will never enter this world again,
We will never meet our friends at the table.
Catch every flying moment -
he will never be ambushed later.

I think it's better to be alone

How to give the heat of the soul to “someone”?

Having given away a priceless gift to just anyone,

Once you meet your loved one, you will not be able to fall in love.

Isn’t it funny to save a penny all your life,
If eternal life still can't buy it?
This life was given to you, my dear, for a while, -
Try not to waste time.

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 around doesn't mean not loving.

Omar Khayyam is a famous sage whose intelligent thoughts and creations touched various areas of life. We invite you to re-read Omar Khayyam’s quotes about love, which touch with sincerity and surprise with their depth.

This is what Omar Khayyam said about love:

“Love at 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.”

Despite the fact that these wise words of Omar Khayyam sound slightly pessimistic, they are quite truthful and philosophically call for remembering feelings not only good or bad, but the truth. He teaches us to try to see two sides to everything, and not just one blinding emotion.

“Even the shortcomings in a loved one are liked, and even the virtues in an unloved person are irritating.”

The truthfulness of this quote about love will be confirmed by everyone who has ever had feelings and felt inspired next to a loved one.

“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 rather straightforward male view of gender relations could not be more correct and confirms that the status of a relationship does not matter if real feelings are not involved.

“Where love administers judgment, all dialects are silent!”

A laconic and succinct quote saying that love is omnipotent and does not tolerate objections.

“Love came and went, as if blood was flowing from the veins

completely empty - I am full of who I lived.

I gave away every last bit of myself to my beloved,

everything except the name became the one he loved.”

These rubai about love tell how much feeling fills the human soul and how empty it remains after the loss of love.

Omar Khayyam openly talks about his bitterness and selflessness.

“Passion cannot be friends with deep love,

If he can, then they won’t be together for long.”

The wise remark of Omar Khayyam tells us to distinguish between passion and true feeling and not expect that the first impulses of love will remain unchanged over the years.

Love changes, becomes deeper and calmer, but passion alone will not bring happiness to a couple.

“To live your life wisely, you need to know a lot.

Remember two important rules to get started:

you'd rather starve than eat anything,

and it’s better to be alone than with just anyone.”

One of Omar Khayyam's most famous poems, extolling selectivity in everything from food to relationships.

The sage considered love one of the most important human resources and did not advise wasting it.

“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 take on something you can’t do.”

Many wise quotes Khayyam appeals to men, forcing them to look differently at their own behavior and attitude towards the fair sex.

In this phrase, the sage tells the strong half of humanity to be able to let go of the woman they love if there is no chance to make her happy.

According to Omar, a man must complete any task he begins or accept defeat with dignity.

“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!”

This wise phrase succinctly describes the most important qualities that a person should have: the ability to love loved ones, forgetting about one’s own selfishness, and the willpower to abandon excessive ambition and envy.

Khayyam claims that by giving up negative feelings and learning to love others, a person will receive mutual feelings in return as a reward for his efforts and care.

“I came to the sage and asked him:

"What is love?" He said, “Nothing.”

But, I know, many books have been written:

Some people write “Eternity”, while others say “moment”.

Either it will scorch with fire, or it will melt like snow,

What is love? - “This is all human!”

And then I looked him straight in the face:

“How can I understand you? Nothing or everything?”

He said smiling: “You yourself gave the answer:

“Nothing or everything!” “There is no middle ground here!”

One of the deepest thoughts of Omar Khayyam, enclosed in poetic form. The sage talks about the essence of love, its many faces and boundaries, which have been and are being interpreted since the beginning of time.

Khayyam is sure: love is an ultimatum, a comprehensive force that cannot be defined or measured, but can only be felt.

The words that Omar Khayyam said about love have deep implications concerning life priorities, human nature and the foundations of the universe.

Re-reading his quotes, you find in them new meaning and you are fascinated by the flight of thoughts of the great poet, which time after time are combined in the mind in a new way, like a verbal kaleidoscope.

Quotes and Aphorisms 16.09.2017

Dear readers, today I invite you to a philosophical conversation. After all we'll talk about the statements of the famous poet and philosopher Omar Khayyam. The poet is considered one of the greatest minds and philosophers of the East. Composing aphorisms about life with meaning, Omar Khayyam wrote short quatrains - rubai. It is interesting, however, that during his lifetime he was much better known as an astronomer and mathematician.

Before the Victorian era, it was known only in the East. Due to the breadth of his views, for a long time Khayyam the poet and Khayyam the scientist were considered different people. The collection of quatrains, rubaiyat, was published after the death of the author. Europeans read the rubaiyat in the translation of the English naturalist and poet Edward Fitzgerald. According to writers, Hayam's collection of poems includes more than 5,000 works. Historians are cautious: experts say that Khayyam wrote only 300 to 500 poems.

The philosopher had a keen sense of life and accurately described the characters of people. Noticed peculiarities of behavior in different situations. Despite the fact that he lived many years ago, Khayyam’s sayings and thoughts are still relevant today, and many of his sayings have become famous aphorisms.

And now I invite you, dear readers, to receive subtle pleasure from the poetic wisdom and wit of the aphorisms and quotes of the great thinker Omar Khayyam.

Quotes and aphorisms of Omar Khayyam about love

The poet could not ignore the eternal theme of relations between men and women. Sincerely and simply he writes:

Days spent without the joys of love,
I consider the burden unnecessary and hateful.

But idealism is alien to Khayyam. Love's tossing is described in several lines:

How often, when we make mistakes in life, we lose those we value.
Trying to please others, sometimes we run away from our neighbors.
We exalt those who are not worthy of us, and betray the most faithful.
Those who love us so much, we offend, and we ourselves expect an apology.

The poet also thought a lot about how true intimacy and love between people is manifested:

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 around doesn’t mean not loving.

Physical distances mattered more in the distant past than they do now. But mental alienation can still be the same. Connoisseur of souls eternal problem families, seducing husbands, he said briefly: “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.”

At the same time, the philosopher admits:

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

About the ideal of female beauty on behalf of men, Khayyam wrote:

You, whose appearance is fresher than wheat fields,
You are a mihrab from the temple of heaven!
When you were born, your mother washed you with ambergris,
By mixing drops of my blood into the aroma!

Surprisingly, more than ten centuries have passed since these lines were written, and the actions of the lovers have hardly changed. Maybe that’s why the wittiest quotes and aphorisms of Omar Khayyam are still so popular?

Quotes from Omar Khayyam about the joy of life

During the life of the scientist in the Islamic world (within modern borders from Azerbaijan to India), religion in literature imposed strict restrictions on the description of love. For more than thirty years, there has been a strict ban on mentioning alcohol in poetry. But the philosopher seems to laugh at the imams. Famous verses are broken down into aphorisms.

They tell us that in the depths of paradise we will embrace the wondrous houris,
Blissfully delighting yourself with the purest honey and wine.
So if it is allowed by the Eternal Ones themselves in the holy paradise,
Is it possible to forget beauties and wine in a fleeting world?

However, Khayyam’s notorious wine is not so much alcoholic as a symbol of the joy of life:

Drink! And into the fire of spring chaos
Throw away the holey, dark cloak of winter.
The earthly path is short. And time is a bird.
The bird has wings... You are at the edge of darkness.

Wine is also a way to comprehend the wisdom of seemingly ordinary phenomena and images:

Man is the truth of the world, the crown
Not everyone knows this, but only a sage.
Drink a drop of wine so you don't think
That creations are all based on the same pattern.

Although the most important thing is the ability to enjoy life:

Do not worry that your name will be forgotten.
Let the intoxicating drink comfort you.
Before your joints fall apart,
Comfort yourself with your beloved by caressing her.

The main feature of the sage’s works is integrity without the currently fashionable conflict. A person is not only integral, but also influences his environment:

Only the dawn will be barely visible in the sky,
Draw from the cup the juice of the invaluable vine!
We know: the truth in the mouths of people is bitter, -
So, then, we must consider wine to be the truth.

This is the whole of Khayyam - he suggests looking for the meaning of life in its endless manifestations.

Aphorisms of Omar Khayyam about life

This is the essence of philosophers - to constantly think about what is happening around and be able to express it accurately and succinctly. Omar Khayyam expressed a very unusual view:

And the nights gave way to days
Before us, oh my dear friend,
And the stars did everything the same
Your circle is predetermined by fate.
Oh, hush! Walk carefully
To the dust under your foot -
You trample the ashes of beauties,
The remains of their wondrous eyes.

Khayyam is also wise in his attitude towards death and suffering. Like anyone a wise man he knew that there was no point in regretting the past and that in constant expectation of better happiness, too, could not be found.

Don’t curse heaven for your suffering.
Look at the graves of your friends without sobbing.
Appreciate this fleeting moment.
Don't look at yesterday and tomorrow.

And he wrote about different perceptions of life:

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

And, of course, all the basic laws of the universe were obvious to him, which even now indicate that the best thing in life is to do good:

Don't do evil - it will come back like a boomerang,
Don't spit in the well - you will drink the water,
Don't insult someone of lower rank
What if you have to ask for something?
Don't betray your friends - you can't replace them,
And don’t lose your loved ones - you won’t get them back,
Don't lie to yourself - you'll find out over time
That you are betraying yourself with this lie.

The philosopher considered labor to be the main thing, and position in society, wealth and social benefits to be only transitory attributes. About swagger he wrote:

Sometimes someone proudly glances: “It’s me!”
Decorate your outfits with gold: “It’s me!”
But only his affairs will go well,
Suddenly death emerges from ambush: “It’s me!”

In the fleeting nature of existence, the poet valued humanity and the ability to focus on one’s tasks:

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

Omar Khayyam was able to treat many things with humor:

When I lay my head under the fence,
In the clutches of death, like a bird in the plucking, I will please -
I bequeath: make a jug out of me,
Involve me in your revelry!

Although, like wine, the revelry and joy of the poet cannot be understood only literally. The rubaiyat contains several layers of wisdom.

Reflections on God and Religion

Due to the peculiarities of the Eastern worldview of that time, Khayyam could not ignore religion.

God is in the veins of days. All life is 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.

Omar Khayyam took a long time to understand God. God, according to Khayyam, is very different from the Christian trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

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.

Strictly speaking, in Islam, only the Holy Spirit is present from the trinity. According to the Koran, Jesus, or rather Isa, is one of the greatest prophets. The scientist openly did not like them:

Prophets came to us in droves,
And they promised light to the dark world.
But they all have their eyes closed
They followed each other down into the darkness.

Although the philosopher took part in raising the children of noble families, he did not leave behind any theological works. The fact is all the more surprising that during 10 years of work in Bukhara, the scientist published 4 fundamental additions to Euclid’s geometry and 2 works on astronomy. Apparently, Theosophy remained outside his interests. His humorous verse speaks about his attitude towards the cult of religion:

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...

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:

To those who have not sought the way, the way is unlikely to be shown - Knock - and the doors to destiny will open!

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

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

Those who lose heart die before their time.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 flow from the sky to the ground.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

One's work is always shameful

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

There is no point in locking the door in front of the future,
There is no point in choosing between evil and good.
The sky 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 an 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.
