Aphorism1 is on vacation in Destin, FL and found The Ruaiyat of Omar Kyayyam as translated by Edward FitzGerald in a used book store. Khayyam's Maxim III seemed worthy of a guest appearance into a listing of aphorisms. Enjoy.

The Tavern shouted--"Open then the Door!
You know how little while we have to stay,
And, once departed, may return no more."
