I was dead, then alive. Weeping, then laughing. The power of love came into me, and I became fierce like a lion, then tender like the evening star.

More quotes by Rumi
How can I know anything about the past or the future, when the light of the Beloved shines only Now.
Rumi
Know mankind well, don't degrade every man as evil, and don't exalt every man thinking he is good. He who cannot discover himself cannot discover the world.
Rumi
Oh lovers, where are you going? Who are you looking for? Your beloved is right here.
Rumi
But learn this custom from the flower: silence your tongue.
Rumi
There comes a holy and transparent time when every touch of beauty opens the heart to tears. This is the time the Beloved of heaven is brought tenderly on earth. This is the time of the opening of the ROSE.
Rumi
The middle path is the way to wisdom
Rumi
Love is the Water of Life Everything other than love for the most beautiful God is agony of the spirit, though it be sugar- eating. What is agony of the spirit? To advance toward death without seizing hold of the Water of Life.
Rumi
Some nights stay up till dawn, as the moon sometimes does for the sun. Be a full bucket pulled up the dark way of a well, then lifted out into light.
Rumi
Don't allow your animal nature to rule your reason.
Rumi
He has afflicted you from every direction in order to pull you back to the directionless.
Rumi
What will our children do in the morning if they do not see us fly?
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
You left and I cried tears of blood. My sorrow grows. Its not just that You left. But when You left my eyes went with You. Now, how will I cry?
Rumi
You are not just the drop in the ocean. You are the mighty ocean in the drop.
Rumi
Tend to your vital heart, and all that you worry about will be solved.
Rumi
Love is an open secret, the most obvious thing in the world and the most hidden, with no why to how it keeps its mystery.
Rumi
Love's nationality is separate from all other religions, The lover's religion and nationality is the Beloved (God). The lover's cause is separate from all other causes Love is the astrolabe of God's mysteries.
Rumi
Your eyes are even smaller, yet they behold the world.
Rumi
Nearness to God is common to us all, Because we're all created and sustained by God, But only the authentically noble Possess and live that nearness That's a constant upswelling passion of love.
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
