Be a lamp, or a lifeboat, or a ladder. Help someone's soul heal. Walk out of your house like a shepherd.

More quotes by Rumi
Poems reach up like spindrift and the edge of driftwood along the beach, wanting! They derive from a slow and powerful root that we can’t see. Stop the words now. Open the window in the center of your chest, and let the spirits fly in and out.
Rumi
In the garden I see only your face From trees and blossoms I inhale only your fragrance.
Rumi
The lovers of God have no religion but God alone.
Rumi
I am your own voice echoing off the walls of God
Rumi
Close the language-door, and open the love-window
Rumi
Rush out in the rain to be soaked with the sky.
Rumi
Look at the moon in the sky, not the one in the lake.
Rumi
He has afflicted you from every direction in order to pull you back to the directionless.
Rumi
If I Separated Myself From You . . . I Would Turn Entirely Thorn!
Rumi
What does this patch-sewing mean you ask? Eating and drinking. The heavy cloak of the body is always getting torn. You patch it with food and other ego-satisfactions.
Rumi
All religions, all this singing, one song. The differences are just illusion and vanity. The sun’s light looks a little different on this wall than it does on that wall, and a lot different on this other one, but it’s still one light.
Rumi
I come to YOU without ME, come to ME without YOU.
Rumi
There is another language beyond language, another place beyond heaven and hell. Precious gems come from another mine, the heart draws light from another source.
Rumi
This is not a day for asking questions, not a day on any calendar. This day is conscious of itself. This day is a lover, bread, and gentleness, more manifest than saying can say.
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
Beyond what we wish and what we fear may happen we have another life, as clear and free as a mountain stream.
Rumi
If words come out of the heart, they will enter the heart.
Rumi
What? Are you still pretending you are separate from the Beloved?
Rumi
If you want money more than anything, you'll be bought and sold your whole life.
Rumi
May these vows and this marriage be blessed.
Rumi
