"To-day is a king in disguise, and we are his courtiers. To-morrow is a queen, and we are her slaves."
"Into this Universe, and why not knowing, Nor whence, like Water willy-nilly flowing: And out of it, as Wind along the Waste, I know not whither, willy-nilly blowing."
"Waste not your Hour, nor in the vain pursuit Of This and That endeavor and dispute; Better be jocund with the fruitful Grape Than sadden after none, or bitter, Fruit."
"Drink! for you know not whence you came, nor why: Drink! for you know not why you go, nor where."
"Why, if the Soul can fling the Dust aside, And dwell with the Divine, shall it abide In Sin and Error while the Flesh endures, And still rebel, howe'er the Spirit chide?"
Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam (FitzGerald translation)
Date: c. 11th-12th century
