The world's flattery and hypocrisy is a sweet morsel: eat less of it, for it is full of fire. Its fire is hidden while its taste is manifest, but its smoke becomes visible in the end.

More quotes by Rumi
The thirsty look for water, but water also looks for thirsty.
Rumi
One day you will take me completely out of myself, I'll do what the angels cannot do. Your eyelash will write on my cheek the poem that hasn't been thought of.
Rumi
Set your sights on a place higher than your eyes can see.
Rumi
You lack a foot to travel? Then journey into yourself - that leads to transformation of dust into pure gold.
Rumi
At night, I open the window and ask the moon to come and press its face against mine. Breathe into me. Close the language-door and open the love-window. The moon won't use the door, only the window.
Rumi
Wash the dust from your SOUl and HEART with wisdom's WATER.
Rumi
I made an oath to myself: as long as I live as long as my soul remains in this body I won't deviate from the right way but later I looked to my left and then to my right and I saw our beloved everywhere how could I make a wrong turn?
Rumi
Be a lamp, or a lifeboat, or a ladder.
Rumi
Move, but don't move the way fear makes you move.
Rumi
To find the Beloved, you must become the Beloved.
Rumi
The world is like a courtroom, with God as our judge. We are called upon to fulfill our covenant with God, who asked, Am I not your Lord? To which we answered, Yea. And since here on earth we are on trial, our every word and action form the witness to and the evidence of that agreement.
Rumi
Poems are rough notations for the music we are.
Rumi
In real existence there is only unity.
Rumi
I am in the House of Mercy, and my heart is a place of prayer.
Rumi
Be kind and honest, and harmful poisons will turn sweet inside you.
Rumi
You moan, She left me. He left me, Twenty more will come.
Rumi
Load the ship and set out. No one knows for certain whether the vessel will sink or reach the harbor. Cautious people say, 'I'll do nothing until I can be sure.' Merchants know better. If you do nothing, you lose. Don't be one of those merchants who wont risk the ocean.
Rumi
There is no Love greater than Love with no object. For then you, yourself, have become love, itself.
Rumi
Explanation by the tongue makes most things clear, But love unexplained is clearer.
Rumi
Everyone sees the unseen in proportion to the clarity of his heart, and that depends upon how much he has polished it. Whoever has polished it more sees more - more unseen forms become manifest to him.
Rumi
