Be like the sun for grace and mercy. Be like the night to cover others' faults. Be like running water for generosity. Be like death for rage and anger. Be like the Earth for modesty. Appear as you are. Be as you appear.

More quotes by Rumi
If you are wholly perplexed and in straits, have patience, for patience is the key to joy.
Rumi
The breath of the flute player: does it belong to the flute?
Rumi
Body is not veiled from soul, neither soul from body, Yet no man hath ever seen a soul.
Rumi
In order to understand the dance one must be still. And in order to truly understand stillness one must dance.
Rumi
Happy is the moment we sit together, with two forms, with two faces, yet one soul. You and I.
Rumi
Whoever gives reverence receives reverence.
Rumi
I am your own voice echoing off the walls of God
Rumi
In the orchard and rose garden I long to see your face. In the taste of Sweetness I long to kiss your lips. In the shadows of passion I long for your love.
Rumi
You left ground and sky weeping, mind and soul full of grief. No one can take your place in existence, or in absence. Both mourn, the angels, the prophets, and this sadness I feel has taken from me the taste of language, so that I cannot say the flavor of my being apart.
Rumi
Anyone who genuinely and consistently with both hands look for something, will find it.
Rumi
If you # love love, look for yourself.
Rumi
My sight My heart My Life All three words I have woven into one ... Love.
Rumi
Thinking gives off smoke to prove the existence of fire. A mystic sits inside the burning. There are wonderful shapes in rising smoke that imagination loves to watch. But it's a mistake to leave the fire for that filmy sight. Stay here at the flame's core.
Rumi
Criticism polishes my mirror.
Rumi
In the house of lovers, the music never stops, the walls are made of songs & the floor dances
Rumi
What can I do my friends, if I do not know? I am neither Christian nor Jew, nor Muslim nor Hindu. What can I do? What can I do? Not of the East, nor of the West, Nor of the land, nor of the sea, Not of nature's essence, nor of circling heavens. What could I be?
Rumi
Is your face a beautiful blossom or a sweet torture? I have no complaints but my heart is tempted to let you hear of its sorrows.
Rumi
Every door is another passage, another boundary we have to go beyond.
Rumi
Dance, and make joyous the love around you. Dance, and your veils which hide the Light shall swirl in a heap at your feet.
Rumi
On a day when the wind is perfect, the sail just needs to open and the world is full of beauty. Today is such a day.
Rumi
