Today I'm out wandering, turning my skull into a cup for others to drink wine from. In this town somewhere there sits a calm, intelligent man, who doesn't know what he's about to do!

More quotes by Rumi
A lover in life will be a lover in death, a lover in the tomb, a lover in paradise, a lover on the day of resurrection.
Rumi
Know that the outward form passes away, but the world of reality remains forever. How long will you play at loving the shape of the jug? Leave the jug go, seek the water!
Rumi
Love isn't the work of the tender and the gentle Love is the work of wrestlers. The one who becomes a servant of lovers is really a fortunate sovereign. Don't ask anyone about Love ask Love about Love. Love is a cloud that scatters pearls.
Rumi
Paradise is surrounded by what we dislike the fires of hell are surrounded by what we desire.
Rumi
I want a trouble-maker for a lover, Blood spiller, blood drinker, a heart of flame, Who quarrels with the sky and fights with fate, Who burns like fire on the rushing sea.
Rumi
Our death is our wedding with eternity.
Rumi
Counterfeiters exist because there is such a thing as real gold.
Rumi
Friendship of the wise is good a wise enemy is better than a foolish friend.
Rumi
These pains you feel are messengers. Listen to them.
Rumi
The same wind that uproots trees makes the grass shine. The lordly wind loves the weakness and the lowness of grasses. Never brag of being strong. The axe doesn't worry how thick the branches are. It cuts them to pieces. But not the leaves. It leaves the leaves alone.
Rumi
The heart is your student, for love is the only way we learn.
Rumi
In this earth, in this immaculate field, we shall not plant any seeds except for compassion, except for love.
Rumi
Be motivated like the falcon, hunt gloriously. Be magnificent as the leopard, fight to win. Spend less time with nightingales and peacocks. One is all talk, the other only color.
Rumi
You had better run from me. My words are fire.
Rumi
If you want money more than anything, you'll be bought and sold. If you have a greed for food, you'll be a loaf of bread. This is a subtle truth: Whatever you love, you are.
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
Your heart knows the way. Run in that direction.
Rumi
Everything that you want, you are already that.
Rumi
Let yourself be loved, O Beloved, in the One. And from this One move out into the world, carrying within you the great potent energies of life to green your world, to create planets, suns, stars, stones, waves, oceans, to create new forms of life and expression - whether a friendship, a feeling or a new form of vocation.
Rumi
There is some kiss we want with the whole of our lives.
Rumi
