Omar Khayy?m – To friends and eke to foes
To friends and eke to foes true kindness show; No kindly heart unkindly deeds will do; Harshness will alienate a bosom friend. And kindness reconcile a deadly foe.

Omar Khayy?m – To-day is thine to spend, but not tomorrow
Today is thine to spend, but not tomorrow; Counting on morrows breedeth bankrupt sorrow: O squander not this breath that Heaven hath lent thee; Make not too sure another breath to borrow.
