Omar Khayyam quotes about life

_____________________________________

The lower a person’s soul, the higher his nose turns up. He reaches with his nose to where his soul has not grown.

______________________

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 have taken on something you can’t do.

______________________

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 close does not mean not loving!

______________________

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...

______________________

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

______________________

Don’t do evil - it will come back like a boomerang, don’t spit in the well - you will drink water, don’t insult someone of lower rank, in case you have to ask for something. Don’t betray your friends, you won’t replace them, and don’t lose your loved ones - you won’t get them back, don’t lie to yourself - over time you will verify that you are betraying yourself with lies.

______________________

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 miss time!

What God once measured out to us, friends, cannot be increased and cannot be decreased. Let's try to spend the cash wisely, without coveting something else, without asking for a loan.

In memories - always affectionate.
And if you love, it’s pain! And with greed for each other
We torment and torment - always.

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.

______________________

You must be good with both friend and enemy! He who is kind 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.

______________________

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.

______________________

Don't make others angry and don't be angry yourself.
We are guests in this mortal world,

Think with a cool head.

Will definitely come back to you!

Better to fall into poverty, starve or steal,
How to become one of the despicable dishevelers.

Once the day has passed, don’t remember it,
Do not groan in fear before the coming day,
Don't worry about the future and the past,
Know the price of today's happiness!

______________________

If you can, don’t worry about time passing,
Do not burden your soul with either the past or the future.
Spend your treasures while you are alive;
After all, you will still appear in the next world as poor.

______________________

Do not be afraid of the wiles of time as it flies,
Our troubles in the circle of existence are not eternal.
Spend the moment given to us in joy,
Don't cry about the past, don't be afraid of the future.

______________________

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

______________________

Don't envy someone who is strong and rich. Sunset always follows dawn. Treat this short life, equal to a sigh, as if it was given to you on loan!

______________________

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.

Mahmoud Farshchian (c)

Dear friends! The wisdom of life from talented people is always interesting, and the wisdom of life from Omar Khayyam is doubly interesting. Persian poet, philosopher, astrologer, mathematician... Omar Khayyam is famous in mathematical world by creating a classification of cubic equations, his calendar, created several centuries ago, is superior from an astronomical point of view to the ancient Roman Julian calendar, and in accuracy to the European Gregorian calendar.

A lot can be said about Omar Khayyam, and I may decide to talk about the biography of this extraordinary man, but today’s post is about his literary heritage. Omar Khayyam became famous in our time, first of all, as the author of the famous wise quatrains - reflections - rubai. Rubai - bright, emotional, written with brilliant wit, at the same time musical and lyrical - have conquered the whole world. Much of the rubaiyat is reflection on the Koran. How many quatrains were written by the poet? Now there are about 1200. According to the Indian scientist and researcher of the work of the poet Swami Govinda Tirtha, up to 2,200 quatrains have survived in our time. In fact, no one knows how much was written, because over nine centuries many rubai have been lost forever.

Was there any wisdom of life from Omar Khayyam?

The controversy about the authorship of the Rubaiyat continues to this day. Some believe that Omar Khayyam has no more than 400 original texts, others are more strict - only 66, and some scientists claim - only 6 (those that were found in the most ancient manuscripts). Everything else, according to researchers of Khayyam’s work, all these wise sayings and poems are the authorship of other people. Perhaps the manuscripts that were passed down from generation to generation were accompanied by other people's quatrains, whose authorship was not established. Someone wrote down their own rubai in the margins, and centuries later they were considered missing insertions and included in the main text.

Osman Hamdy Bey (c)

Perhaps the most laconic, daring, witty and elegant quatrains in all centuries were attributed to Omar Khayyam. Finding authentic rubai of Omar Khayyam is a hopeless task, since today the authorship of any quatrain is difficult to establish. Therefore, let us trust ancient and not very ancient manuscripts, we will read wise thoughts and find the quatrain to which our soul responds in at the moment. And then say thank you to the author (regardless of who he is) and the translator.

Osman Hamdy Bey (c)

Learn all the secrets of wisdom! - And there?...
Arrange the whole world in your own way! - And there?...
Live carefree until you are a hundred years old and happy...
You will miraculously last until two hundred!... - And there?

"Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam" by E. Fitzgerald

The wisdom of life from Omar Khayyam became known thanks to Edward Fitzgerald, who found a notebook with quatrains and first translated them into Latin, and then - in 1859 - into English.

These poems amazed the English poet with their wisdom, deep philosophical overtones and at the same time lyricism and subtlety. “After several centuries, old man Khayyam continues to ring like real metal,” Edward Fitzgerald said admiringly. Fitzgerald's translation was arbitrary; in order to connect the quatrains, he made his own insertions, and ultimately created a poem similar to the tales of the Arabian Nights, main character which he constantly feasts on and periodically utters truths over the constant cup of wine.

Thanks to Fitzgerald, Omar Khayyam acquired a reputation as a merry fellow, a joker who loves wine and encourages seizing the moment of pleasure. But thanks to this poem, the whole world learned about the Persian poet, and aphorisms, poems, parables and other everyday wisdom were quoted throughout all countries. The most famous

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.

The lower a person’s soul, the higher his nose turns up.
He reaches with his nose to where his soul has not grown.

in the ears or tongues of many.

The appearance of the wise sayings of Omar Khayyam in Russia.

The first publication of Omar Khayyam in Russian appeared in 1891. The translator was the poet V.L. Velichko. He translated 52 quatrains. These were rather paraphrase translations, since the poet did not set himself the task of reproducing the original. A total of 5 sayings were made in the form of quatrains.
In general, more than 40 names are known in Russia who have translated Omar Khayyam. Some of the most famous are the translations of V. Derzhavin, A.V. Starostin, G. Plisetsky, N. Strizhkov, G.S. Semenov. I specifically focus on these names, because I give the quatrains below without indicating the name of the translator (I couldn’t find it, alas). Perhaps these poets are their authors. To date, more than 700 Khayyam rubai have been translated.

We have already said that translations reflect the essence of the translator, because everyone brings into the translation not only their own talent, but also their own understanding of quatrains (by the way, I “fell ill” with the topic of interlinear translation after, which simply stunned me with its conversation). Therefore, the same lines can be interpreted differently. I liked the comparative translation of this original text (interlinear) by Omar Khayyam.

Be cheerful, for there is no end to suffering in sight.
More than once will luminaries in the same zodiac sign meet in the heavens,
[representing the predestination of fate].
The bricks that will be molded from your ashes
Smash into the wall of a house for other people

Mahmoud Farshchian (c)

Compare!

Translation by C. Guerra (1901):

Surrender to joy! The torment will be eternal!
The days will change: day - night, day - night again;
The earthly hours are all small and fleeting,
And soon you will leave us from here.
You will mix with the earth, with lumps of sticky clay,
And the bricks will be covered with you at the stoves,
And they will build a palace for the lowly cattle,
And at that bookmark they will make a series of speeches.
And your spirit, perhaps, is a former shell
Back to yourself again, it will be in vain to call!
So sing and have fun while they give you a reprieve
And death has not yet come to visit you.

Translation by G. Plisetsky (1971):

Have fun! The sad ones go crazy.
Eternal darkness shines with eternal stars.
How to get used to what is made of thinking flesh
Will the bricks be made and laid at home?

Unfortunately, I cannot list (due to the blog format) 13 more varieties of this translation. Some rubai have 1 translation, and some (the most popular) have up to 15!

But let's just read and enjoy these poetic lines, because we receive precious advice and instructions. Despite the fact that ten centuries separate his work from us, the wise thoughts of Omar Khayyam are still relevant and close to everyone. Indeed, in the quotes of Omar Khayyam about life, about love, about wisdom, the truth is revealed that all people of the world are looking for. Despite the fact (or maybe precisely because) that the statements of his poems are sometimes opposite and contradictory, his rubai captivate people of any age.

Osman Hamdy Bey (c)

Young people, thanks to the wisdom of his poems, have the opportunity to avoid some mistakes. Young people just entering great life, learn worldly wisdom, because the poems of Omar Khayyam give answers to different life situations. Elderly people, who have already seen a lot and are themselves able to give advice for all occasions, find rich food for thought in his quatrains. They can compare their life wisdom with the thoughts of an extraordinary person who lived a thousand years ago.
Behind the lines one can see the searching and inquisitive personality of the poet. He returns to the same thoughts throughout his life, revising them, discovering new possibilities or secrets of life.

Osman Hamdy Bey (c)

For many years I reflected on earthly life.
There is nothing incomprehensible to me under the sun.
I know that I know nothing, -
This is the last secret I have learned.

Quotes from Omar Khayyam are an opportunity to step away from the hustle and bustle and look into yourself. Even after a thousand years, the voice of Omar Khayyam carries a message of love, understanding of the transience of life and a careful attitude towards every moment of it. Omar Khayyam gives advice on how to succeed in business, how to raise children, how to live in love and peace with your husband, how to build relationships with people around you. These tips are given beautifully, gracefully and expressively. They captivate with their brevity and depth of thought. Every moment of life is priceless, the poet never tires of reminding us.

Osman Hamdy Bey (c)

Wisdom of life from Omar Khayyam

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

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

Don't share your secret with people,
After all, you don’t know which of them is mean.
What do you do with God's creation?
Expect the same from yourself and from people.
***

Don't let a scoundrel into your secrets - hide them,
And keep secrets from a fool - hide them,
Look at yourself among the people passing by,
Keep silent about your hopes until the end - hide them!
***

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.
***

We change rivers, countries, cities...
Other doors... New Years...
And we can’t escape ourselves anywhere,
And if you go, it’s just to nowhere.
***

Hell and heaven are in heaven,” say the bigots.
I looked into myself and became convinced of the lie:
Hell and heaven are not circles in the palace of the universe,
Hell and heaven are two halves of the soul.
***

Mahmoud Farshchian (c)

We don’t know if life will last until the morning...
So hurry up and sow the seeds of goodness!
And take care of love in this perishable world for your friends
Every moment is more than gold and silver.
***

We went to look for You, but we became an angry crowd:
And the poor, and the rich, and the generous, and the stingy.
You talk to everyone, none of us hears.
You appear before everyone, any of us is blind.
***

The sky is the belt of my ruined life,
The tears of the fallen are the salty waves of the seas.
Paradise - blissful peace after passionate efforts,
Hellfire is just a reflection of extinguished passions.
***

Omar Khayyam in Russian translated poetry
(Z. N. Vorozheikina, A. Sh. Shakhverdov)

The biography of Omar Khayyam is full of secrets and mysteries, and his image is covered in legends. On Ancient East he was revered as a scientist. To us, he is better known as a poet, philosopher, keeper of wisdom - aphorisms full of humor and slyness. Omar Khayyam is a humanist, for him the spiritual world of a person is above all. He appreciates the joy of life and enjoyment from every minute. And his style of presentation made it possible to express what could not be said out loud in open text.

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 have taken on something you can’t do.

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!

Don't be afraid to lose those who weren't afraid to lose you. The brighter the bridges behind you burn, the brighter the road ahead...

In this unfaithful world, don’t be a fool: Don’t you dare rely on those around you. Look with a steady eye at your closest friend - A friend may turn out to be your worst enemy.

Be easier on people. If you want to be wiser, don’t hurt with your wisdom.

A true friend is a person who will tell you everything he thinks about you and tell everyone that you are a wonderful person.

You must be good with both friend and enemy! He who is kind 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.

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.

Have smaller friends, don't expand their circle. Rather, 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.

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.

You got out of rags to riches, but quickly becoming a prince... Don’t forget, so as not to jinx it..., princes are not eternal - dirt is eternal.

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

Good does not put on the mask of evil, but often evil, under the mask of good, does its crazy things.

A pensive soul tends towards loneliness.

When you leave for five minutes, do not forget to leave warmth in your palms. In the palms of those who are waiting for you, In the palms of those who remember you...

He who has been beaten by life will achieve more; he who has eaten a pound of salt values honey more highly. He who shed tears laughs sincerely, He who died knows that he lives.

Love can do without reciprocity, but friendship never can.

Just the essence, how worthy of men, speak,
Only when answering - the words sir - speak.
There are two ears, but one tongue is not given by chance -
Listen twice and speak only once!

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

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

What is the use of interpreting for someone who is clueless!

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

There will be no forgiveness for anyone who has not sinned.

You are a mine, since you go in search of a ruby, You are loved, since you live in the hope of a date. Delve into the essence of these words - both simple and wise: Everything you are looking for, you will certainly find in yourself!

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

Like the wind in the steppe, like water in a river,
The day has passed and will never come back.
Let us live, oh my friend, in the present!
Regretting the past is not worth the trouble.

When people gossip about you, it means that you have enough attention not only for yourself, but also for others. They fill themselves with you.

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!

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...

We will leave without a trace - no names, no signs. This world will last for thousands of years. We weren’t here before, and we won’t be here after. There is no harm or benefit from this.

Don't frown at the blows of fate,
Those who lose heart die before their time.
Neither you nor I have control over fate.
It is wiser to come to terms with it. More use!

You should never explain anything to anyone. The one who does not want to listen will not hear or believe, but the one who believes and understands does not need explanations.

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 throws blindly dice -
Everything that falls out must be lost in time!

Don't punish yourself for what didn't come. Don't curse yourself because of what has passed away. Get rid of the vile life - and don’t scold yourself. Until the sword raises doom - live and protect yourself.

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

Happiness is given to the brave, it does not like the quiet ones,
For happiness, go into the water and into the fire.
Both the rebel and the submissive are equal before God,
Don't yawn - don't waste your happiness.

The time of quiet love is more of a concern... You can catch it in your eyes, you can understand it at a glance. After all, love, oddly enough, is a big job if you value it and don’t want to lose it.

Appreciate even the bitter days of life, because they too are gone forever.

Nobility and meanness, courage and fear - everything is inherent in our bodies from birth. Until death we will become neither better nor worse; we are the way Allah created us.

It is known that everything in the world is just vanity of vanities:
Be cheerful, don't worry, that's the light.
What has happened is past, what will happen is unknown,
So don’t worry about what doesn’t exist today.

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.

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.

Don't say the man is a womanizer! If he were monogamous, then your turn would not have come.

We come sinless - and we sin,
We come cheerful - and mourn.
We burn our hearts with bitter tears
And we will fall into dust, scattering life like smoke.

Don't share your secret with people,
After all, you don’t know which of them is mean.
What do you do with God's creation?
Expect the same from yourself and from people.

Love in the beginning is always tender.
In my memories, she is always affectionate.
And if you love, it’s pain! And with greed for each other
We torment and torment - always.

I came to the sage and asked him:
"What is love?"
He said, "Nothing."
But, I know, many books have been written.
“Eternity” - some write, while others write that it’s “a moment”.
Either it will scorch with fire, or it will melt like snow,
What is love? - “It’s all a person!”
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!

How I want to say good words...
Let the snow fall, and with it renewal.
What a beautiful and kind life!
Appreciate all these sweet moments!
After all, our life is made up of moments like these.
And if we believe in such a miracle...
The soul sings and the heart rushes upward...
And we are not afraid of the evil blizzard!
Envy and lies do not exist.
But only peace, warmth and inspiration.
We are on earth for happiness and love!
So let this moment of glow last!

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.

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.

Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

As soon as you went out into the garden, the scarlet poppy became embarrassed,
There is no way to calm down from envy.
Why didn’t the cypress bow to you?
I saw the wondrous figure and was seized with tetanus!

Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

To the radiance of the moon, beauty of the night,
I will add the warmth given by the candle,
The sparkle of sugar, the posture of a cypress tree,
The murmur of a stream... And your appearance will come out.

Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

What a temptation, what a temptation, God bless!...
Your face reigns in dreams day and night.
That's why there is pain in the chest and trembling in the heart,
And dry lips, and wet eyes, and trembling hands.

Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

Only your face makes a sad heart happy.
I don't need anything except your face.
I see my image in you, looking into your eyes,
I see you in myself, my joy.

Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

He dressed many women in brocade and pearls,
But I could not find an ideal among them.
I asked the sage: - What is perfection?
- The one next to you! - He told me.

Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

Torment ages beauties. Get rid of trouble
The one whose eyelids are transparent and whose lips are firm.
Be more tender with your beloved: beauty escapes,
Leaving traces of suffering on the face.

Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

To the world - the haven of our few days -
For a long time I fixed the inquisitive gaze of my eyes.
So what? Your face is brighter than the bright moon;
Your wonderful figure is straighter than a slender cypress.

Omar Khayyam is a great Persian poet and philosopher who became famous throughout the world for his wise sayings. In his homeland he is also known as a mathematician, astronomer and astrologer. In mathematical treatises, the scientist presented ways to solve complex equations. In his circle scientific achievements also includes the development of a new solar calendar.

Most of all, Omar Khayyam was glorified by his literary and philosophical activities. Omar Khayyam is the author of quatrain poems - rubai. They are written in Farsi. There is an opinion that the rubai were originally translated into English language, and only then into other languages of the world, including Russian.

There is probably no topic to which Omar Khayyam would not devote his work. He wrote about life, about love, about friends, about happiness, about fate. In the poet's work there are also reflections on reincarnation, on the soul, on the role of money; in his poems (rubai), he even described wine, a jug and a potter he knew. Initially, the poet’s work caused a lot of controversy, some considered him a freethinker and a reveler, others saw him as a deep thinker. Today, Omar Khayyam is recognized as the most talented author of the rubaiyat, and his work undoubtedly deserves attention.

Isn’t it funny to save a penny all your life,
What if you still can’t buy eternal life?
This life was given to you, my dear, for a while, -
Try not to miss time!

Life must be appreciated.

Be easier on people. Do you want to be wiser -
Don't hurt with your wisdom.

Smart does not mean wise.

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

Life is given only one, and you need to love it.

Those who lose heart die before their time.

As long as you believe in yourself, as long as you live.

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.

You need to understand life, and not act out of inertia.

About love

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 have taken on something you can’t do.

If you're not confident in your abilities, it's better not to try it.

Like the sun, love burns without burning out.
Like a bird of heavenly paradise - love.
But not yet love - nightingale moans.
Do not moan, dying of love - love!

Love is like a flame that warms souls.

Know that the main source of existence is love.

The one who loves has the meaning of life.

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!

Not to love means not to live, but to exist.

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

You cannot find happiness with an unloved person.

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!

Being a wife and a beloved woman are not always the same thing.

About friendship

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

You can't spare anything for a friend.

Have smaller friends, don't expand their circle.
And remember: a close friend living far away is better.

The less common affairs, the more trust.

A true friend is a person who will tell you everything he thinks about you and tell everyone that you are a wonderful person.

But in life everything is quite the opposite.

If you offend a friend, you will make an enemy,
If you hug an enemy, you will find a friend.

The main thing is not to confuse.

The wittiest

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

You need to listen to the wise.

It's better to gnaw on bones than to be seduced by sweets
At the table of the scoundrels in power.

You shouldn’t give in to temptation, power is a vile thing.

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

He who seeks will always find!

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...

All people are different, there is no doubt about that.

The work of Omar Khayyam is filled with meaning. All the sayings of the great thinker and poet make you think and rethink life.
