Omar Khayyam

« All quotes from this author
 

I must abjure the Balm of Life, I must,
Scared by some After-reckoning ta'en on trust,
Or lured with Hope of some Diviner Drink,
To fill the Cup — when crumbled into Dust!

 
Omar Khayyam

Fear's a powerful thing
It'll turn your heart black you can trust
It'll take your God filled soul
Fill it with devils and dust.

 
Bruce Springsteen
 

Even such is time, that takes in trust
Our youth, our joys, our all we have,
And pays us but with age and dust;
Who in the dark and silent grave,
When we have wandered all our ways,
Shuts up the story of our days.
But from this earth, this grave, this dust,
My God shall raise me up, I trust!

 
Sir Walter Raleigh
 

To abjure the notion of the “truly human” is to abjure the attempt to divinize the self as a replacement for a divinized world.

 
Richard Rorty
 

Even such is time, that takes on trust
Our youth, our joys, our all we have,
And pays us but with earth and dust;
Who, in the dark and silent grave,
When we have wandered all our ways,
Shuts up the story of our days;
But from this earth, this grave, this dust
My God shall raise me up, I trust!

 
Sir Walter Raleigh
 

There's a hope for every woe,
And a balm for every pain,
But the first joys of our heart
Come never back again!
