More quotes by Rumi
By God, when you see your beauty you will be the idol of yourself.
Rumi
Oh, bird of my soul, fly away now, For I possess a hundred fortified towers.
Rumi
A soul which is not clothed with the inner garment of Love should be ashamed of its existence.
Rumi
Not only the thirsty seek the water, the water as well seeks the thirsty.
Rumi
There is something to be said for anyone who sits alone with dignity and silently begs for God.
Rumi
The gifts of lovers to one another are, in respect to love, nothing but forms yet, they testify to invisible love.
Rumi
You are more valuable than both heaven and earth. What else can I say? You don’t know your own worth.
Rumi

Rumi
Although you see the pit, you cannot avoid it.
Rumi
This is the essence of all sciences - that you should know who you will be when the Day of Reckoning arrives.
Rumi
Stop learning. Start knowing
Rumi
On the path of Love we are neither masters nor the owners of our lives. We are only a brush in the hand of the Master Painter.
Rumi
Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious.
Rumi
Now I am sober and there's only the hangover and the memory of love.
Rumi
Silence is an ocean. Speech is a river. When the ocean is searching for you, don't walk into the language-river. Listen to the ocean, and bring your talky business to an end. Traditional words are just babbling in that presence, and babbling is a substitute for sight.
Rumi
When you eventually see through the veils to how things really are, you will keep saying again and again, this is certainly not like we thought it was.
Rumi
LOVE and LOVER live in Eternity. Other desires are substitutes for that way of being.
Rumi
Fasting is an amazing thing. It gives people heart and soul.
Rumi
He has afflicted you from every direction in order to pull you back to the directionless.
Rumi
The spirit is so near that you can't see it! But reach for it... don't be a jar, full of water, whose rim is always dry. Don't be the rider who gallops all night and never sees the horse that is beneath him.
Rumi
