Are you familiar with The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam? If so what is your favorite passage or favorite passages? Why?

My favorite at the moment after the most awfullest terriblest worsest miserablest crappiest disgustingest cheesiest  prez  election in my lifetime is the following...for obvious reasons

"The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a  Word of it"

In others words, no do-overs.
