Omar Khayyám
“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, رباعيات خيام

Omar Khayyám
“And do you think that unto such as you
A maggot-minded, starved, fanatic crew
God gave a secret, and denied it me?
Well, well—what matters it? Believe that, too!”
Omar Khayyâm, Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám

“There’s one gift that we all want It’s something we can give On every day In every way As long as we shall live!   It’s something that’s invisible To feel inside the heart It’s something that can make us laugh Or make us fall apart   It’s better than a birthday cake Or better than a gift It’s something that is oftentimes Expressed with a hug and kiss   This gift called Love is nothing new But it also never dies So give this gift to anyone The very best surprise!”
Etoile Grace, Birthday Poems: Say It With A Rhyme

Omar Khayyám
“How sad, a heart that
does not know how to love, that
does not know what it is to be drunk with love.
If you are not in love, how can you enjoy
the blinding light of the sun,
the soft light of the moon?”
Omar Khayyám, The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

Omar Khayyám
“This world
that was our home
for a brief spell
never brought us anything
but pain and grief;
its a shame that not one of our problems
was ever solved.
We depart
with a thousand regrets
in our hearts.”
Omar Khayyám
