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, Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám

Your hand can seize today,

but not tomorrow;

and thoughts of your tomorrow are nothing but desire.

Don’t waste this breath,

if your heart isn’t crazy, since

“the rest of your life” won’t last forever.


― Omar Khayyám, Quatrains – Ballades

First step

It is pointless trying to know where the way leads.

Think only about your first step, the rest will come.
