Dancing is not just getting up painlessly, like a leaf blown on the wind dancing is when you tear your heart out and rise out of your body to hang suspended between the worlds.

More quotes by Rumi
Every moment I shape my destiny with a chisel - I am the carpenter of my own soul.
Rumi
If you want to be more alive, love is the truest health.
Rumi
Many prayers are declined because of the rank odor of a corrupt heart, rising through the beautiful words. Let the words be wrong but the meaning right. . . . That flawed utterance is dearer to God!
Rumi
The lovers of God never run out of patience, for they know that time is needed for the crescent moon to become full.
Rumi
Joy lives concealed in grief.
Rumi
There is a city in which you find everything you desire-handsome people, pleasures, ornaments of every kind-all that the natural person craves. However, you cannot find a single wise person there.
Rumi
You could string a hundred endless days together, My soul would find no comfort from this pain. You laugh at my tale? You may be educated But you haven’t learned to love till you’re insane
Rumi
The men of God are like fishes in the ocean they pop up into view on the surface here and there and everywhere, as they please.
Rumi
At every moment, Love's voice talks to us from left and from right. All we have to do is to know how to listen.
Rumi
In your beauty, how to make poems.
Rumi
If in thirst you drink water from a cup, you see God in it. Those who are not in love with God will see only their own faces in it.
Rumi
Love is from the infinite, and will remain until eternity.
Rumi
Wings of Love long only to fly away from all directions.
Rumi
To find the Beloved, you must become the Beloved.
Rumi
Those doing soul work, who want the searing truth more than solace or applause, know each other right away. Those who want something else turn and take a seat in another room. Soul-makers find each other’s company.
Rumi
I have been so naughted in Thy Love's existence that my nonexistence is a thousand times sweeter than my existence
Rumi
O, Great Spirit, open my eyes, open heart's wings, open my ears to your voice in all things.
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
When you have indulged a lust, your wing drops off you become lame, abandoned by a fantasy. …People fancy they are enjoying themselves, but they are really tearing out their wings for the sake of an illusion.
Rumi
Angels dance only with You, Beloved and only before You do I bow in adoration. You may accept me or not but I will be at your feet forever.
Rumi
