Omar Khayyam

I think, all of you read verses by Omar Khayyam.
For example:
Who understood life that does not hurry any more,
Savors every instant and observes,
As the child sleeps, the old man prays,
As the rain goes and as snowflakes thaw.
In ordinary sees beauty,
In confused the simplest decision,
He knows how to fulfill a dream,
He loves life and trusts on Sunday,
He understood that happiness not in money
And their quantity will not save from a grief,
But who lives with a titmouse in hands,
Definitely will not find the firebird
Who understood life, that understood an essence of things,
What is more perfect than life only death,
What to know, without being surprised, more terribly,
Than not to know something and not to be able.

Do not do the evil — will return a boomerang,
Do not spit in a well — you will drink water,
Do not offend the one who is lower a rank,
And suddenly it is necessary, something to ask.
Do not betray friends, you will not replace them,
Also do not lose darlings — you will not return,
Do not lie to yourself — over time you will check,
That this lie you betray yourself.


Many even by heart know its short ruba.
For example:
Iznachalney of all the rest — love,
In the song of youth the first word — love.
Oh, poor creature, ignorant of the world of love,
Know that all our life a basis — love!

Omar Khayyam wrote much about love, and it is not accidental, in his life it was.
The biographic drama "the Prophet Omar Khayyam perfectly tells about it and his love. The chronicle of a legend" (2011) at which I looked recently.
Very much I liked these mini-series therefore I recommend it to you.

In a picture all life of the most prominent philosopher, mathematician and astronomer, since 4 years is told.
The love line is very interesting. I, for example, knew nothing about private life of Omar Khayyam.
Though on its verses on what he loved it is not difficult to guess.

It was interesting to me to look, I hope, and these series will be pleasant to you.
