The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam -

Omar contested the beliefs of his fellow Islamic Sufis, but was tolerated in this, for he held a high position, being one of the founders of algebra, as well as having a large role in realigning the calender to keep the seasons consistent.

Austin P. Torney: Sea that breaketh, and never breaks.
(George Berkeley, 1710) ... lay the beginning in a distinct explication of what is meant by thing, reality, existence: for in vain shall we dispute concerning the real existence of things, or pretend to any knowledge thereof, so long as we have not fixed the meaning of those words.
