Famous quotes of Omar Khayyam 
1.
There was a water-drop
it joined the sea.
A speck of dust
it was fused with earth.
What of your entering and leaving this world?
A fly appeared and disappeared.
-Omar Khayyam

2.
So I be written in the Book of Love. 
I do not care about that Book Above. 
Erase my name or write it as you will. 
So I be written in the Book of Love.
-Omar Khayyam

3.
O friend, for the morrow, 
let us not worry.
This moment we have now, 
let us not hurry.
When our time comes, 
we shall not tarry.
With seven thousand-year-olds, 
our burden carry.
-Omar Khayyám

4.
Today is the time of my youth
I drink wine because it is my solace;
Do not blame me, 
Although it is bitter it is pleasant.
It is bitter because it is my life.
-Omar Khayyam

5.
Why ponder thus the future to foresee, 
and jade thy brain to vain perplexity? 
Cast off thy care, 
leave Allah’s plans to him –
He formed them all 
without consulting thee.” 
Three Cups of Tea
- Omar Khayyám

6.
Ah, make the most of what we yet may spend;
Before we too into the Dust descend;
Dust into Dust, and under Dust to lie;
Sans Wine, Sans Song, Sans Singer, and--Sans End!
-Omar Khayyam

7.
Alike for those who for 
To-day prepare,
And those that after some 
Tomorrow stare,
A Muezzin from the Tower of Darkness cries,
"Fools! your Reward is neither 
Here nor There.
-Omar Khayyam

8.
Poor soul, you will never know anything of real importance. 
You will not uncover even one of life's secrets. 
Although all religions promise paradise, 
Take care to create your own,
Paradise here and now on Earth.
-Omar Khayyám

9.
Think about the green foliage 
that sparkles after the rain. 
When the daylight exhausts you, When you hope a final night 
will cover the world,
Think about the awakening of a young child.(in you)
-Omar Khayyám

10.
Realise this: 
One day your soul will depart from your body and 
You will be drawn behind the curtain that floats between us and 
the unknown. 
While you wait for that moment, 
Be happy;
Because you don't know 
where you came from and
you don't know where you will be going.
-Omar Khayyám

11.
I sent my Soul through the Invisible, 
some letter of that After-life to spell: 
And by and by my Soul return'd to me, 
And answered:
 "I Myself am Heaven and Hell".
-Omar Khayyam

12.
As far as you can avoid it, 
Do not give grief to anyone. 
Never inflict your rage on another.
If you hope for eternal rest, 
Feel the pain yourself,
But don’t hurt others.
-Omar Khayyám

13.
I try to find Heaven and Hell.
Then I hear a solemn voice that says:
"Heaven and Hell are inside".
-Omar Khayyám, 

14.
Oh threats of Hell and Hopes of Paradise!
One thing at least is certain - 
This Life flies;
One thing is certain and 
The rest is Lies -
The Flower that once has blown forever dies.
-Omar Khayyam

15.
A book of Verses underneath the bough
A flask of wine, 
A loaf of bread and
Thou beside me singing in the wilderness,
And wilderness is paradise now.
-Omar Khayyám
