"Myself when young did eagerly frequent doctor and saint, and heard great argument about it and about: but evermore came out by the same door as in I went"

About this Quote
This quote by Omar Khayyam is a reflection on the futility of seeking knowledge and knowledge from external sources. He speaks of his own experience of looking for understanding from medical professionals and saints, and taking part in fantastic debates about it. However, in spite of all the effort he put in, he found himself in the same location as he began. This suggests that understanding and wisdom can not be found from external sources, however should come from within. It is a reminder to us to look within ourselves for the responses we look for, instead of relying on external sources. It is a reminder that true understanding and wisdom come from within, and that we must trust our own intuition and judgement. Eventually, this quote is a tip that we need to look within ourselves for the responses we seek, which real knowledge and wisdom originate from within.
