Be quiet now and wait. It may be that the ocean one, the one we desire so to move into and become, desires us out here on land a little longer, going our sundry roads to the shore.

More quotes by Rumi
Light up the fire of love inside and blaze the thoughts away.
Rumi
I drank that Wine of which the Soul is its vessel. Its ecstasy has stolen my intellect away. A Light came and kindled a Flame in the depth of my Soul. A Light so radiant that the sun orbits around it like a butterfly.
Rumi
There are many winds full of anger, and lust and greed. They move the rubbish around, but the solid mountain of our true nature stays where it's always been.
Rumi
You are more valuable than both heaven and earth. What else can I say? You don’t know your own worth.
Rumi
The heart is cooking a pot of food for you. Be patient until it is cooked
Rumi
The only way to measure a lover is by the grandeur of the beloved.
Rumi
Heartsick, heartbroken - to know love is to know pain. What could be more common? Even so, each broken heart is so singular that with it we probe the divine.
Rumi
Treasure is stored in the ruined places. Do not break the hearts of the poor and heartbroken people
Rumi
Water, stories, the body, all the things we do, are mediums that hid and show what's hidden.
Rumi
The spirit and the body carry different loads and require different attentions. Too often we put the saddlebags on Jesus and let the donkey run loose in the pasture.
Rumi
Our death is our wedding with eternity.
Rumi
Love is the whole thing. We are only pieces.
Rumi
Love cannot be learned or taught. Love comes as Grace.
Rumi
Ways of worshipping are not to be ranked as better or worse than one another . . . It's all praise, and it's all right.
Rumi
Nothing can help me but that beauty. There was a dawn I remember when my soul heard something from your soul. I drank water from your spring and felt the current take me.
Rumi
There is an unseen sweetness in the stomach’s emptiness. We are lutes. When the sound box is filled, no music can come forth. When the brain and the belly burn from fasting, every moment a new song rises out of the fire. The mists clear, and a new vitality makes you spring up the steps before you . . .
Rumi
What you have despised in yourself as a thorn opens into a rose.
Rumi
Flattery's fire is hidden. Its sweet taste is apparent, but the smoke is bound to come out at last.
Rumi
In the garden I see only your face From trees and blossoms I inhale only your fragrance.
Rumi
Dive today from the cliff of what you know into what you can't know.
Rumi
