Better be jocund with the fruitful Grape Than sadden after none, or bitter, Fruit.

Omar Khayyam

OMAR KHAYYAM

Atheist Fools Reward
We are thinking about bad only those who are worse than we are, and those who are better than us … I’m just not up to us … One does not follow it than smell roses. Another of the bitter herbs will produce honey. Give bread to one – will remember forever. Another life donation – do not understand.
