Rumi
When you go through a hard period, When everything seems to oppose you, ... When you feel you cannot even bear one more minute, NEVER GIVE UP! Because it is the time and place that the course will divert!

Rumi
The world is nothing but a moment.
Rumi

Rumi
Water in the boat is the ruin of the boat, but water under the boat is its support.
Rumi
Start a huge, foolish project, like Noah…it makes absolutely no difference what people think of you.
Rumi
For those who realize that everything is from God, everything is the same.
Rumi
Oh, bird of my soul, fly away now, For I possess a hundred fortified towers.
Rumi
Let the waters settle and you will see the moon and the stars mirrored in your own being.
Rumi
The agony of lovers burns with the fire of passion. Lovers leave traces of where they've been. The wailing of broken hearts is the doorway to God.
Rumi
