No more words. In the name of this place we drink in with our breathing, stay quiet like a flower. So the nightbirds will start singing.

More quotes by Rumi
I saw grief drinking a cup of sorrow and called out, 'It tastes sweet, does it not?' 'You've caught me,' grief answered, 'and you've ruined my business. How can I sell sorrow, when you know it's a blessing?
Rumi
Never be without remembrance of Him, for His remembrance gives strength and wings to the bird of the Spirit.
Rumi
When you're traveling, ask the traveler for advice / not someone whose lameness keeps him in one place.
Rumi
How could you reach the pearl by only looking at the sea? If you seek the pearl, be a diver: the diver needs several qualities: he must trust his rope and his life to the Friend's hand, he must stop breathing, and he must jump.
Rumi
In your light I learn how to love.
Rumi
Whether you love God or you love a human being, if you love enough you will come into the presence of Love itself.
Rumi
The core of the seen and unseen universe smiles, but remember smiles come best from those who weep. Lightning, then the rain-laughter.
Rumi
All day I think about it, then at night I say it. Where did I come from, and what am I supposed to be doing? I have no idea. My soul is from elsewhere, I'm sure of that, and I intend to end up there.
Rumi
Since I was cut from the reedbed I have made this crying sound. Anyone separated from someone he loves understands what I say. Anyone pulled from a Source longs to go back.
Rumi
When someone critises or disagrees with you, a small ant of hatred and antagonism is born in your heart. If you do not squash that ant at once, it might grow into a snake, or even a dragon.
Rumi
Have you ever gotten breathless before from a beautiful face, for i see you there, my dear.
Rumi
When I am silent, I have thunder hidden inside.
Rumi
We are the mirror as well as the face in it. We are tasting the taste this minute of eternity. We are pain and what cures pain both. We are the sweet cold water and the jar that pours.
Rumi
If you only say one prayer in a day make it Thank You.
Rumi
I am a bird of God's garden and I do not belong to this dusty world For a day or two they have put me here in this cage of my own body I did not come here of my own I will not return of my own to my own country.
Rumi
Someone who does not run toward the allure of love walks a road where nothing lives.
Rumi
if i can only recount the story of my life right out of my body flames will grow
Rumi
Poems reach up like spindrift and the edge of driftwood along the beach, wanting! They derive from a slow and powerful root that we can’t see. Stop the words now. Open the window in the center of your chest, and let the spirits fly in and out.
Rumi
Stay with friends who support you in these. Talk with them about sacred texts, and how you are doing, and how they are doing, and keep your practices together.
Rumi
This world's existence is one night long. There's a great lively gathering that night, but some people sleep through it.
Rumi
