Omar Khayyam. Best Aphorisms

The Persian sage, astronomer, mathematician, physicist, and philosopher, Omar Khayyam (c. 1048–1131) is the author of the famous rubaiyat, which celebrate love and beauty, life in all its manifestations. The book includes the best aphorisms of the great poet in classical translations, characterized by expressive brevity and artistry, deep elegiac feeling, and sometimes sharp, mocking wit. Still beloved in both the East and the West, these quatrains provide strength in difficult moments and offer the reader a perspective on the world filled with profound meaning and enduring wisdom.
