Additional quotes by Omar Khayyám

What! out of senseless Nothing to provoke A conscious Something to resent the yoke Of unpermitted Pleasure, under pain Of Everlasting Penalties, if broke!

The rose that once has bloomed forever dies.

Покоя мало, тягот не избыть,
Растут заботы, все мрачнее жить...
Хвала творцу, что бед у нас хватает:
Хоть что-то не приходится просить.
