More quotes by 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
That which is false troubles the heart, but truth brings joyous tranquility.
Rumi
Any wine will get you high. Judge like a king, and choose the purest, the ones unadulterated with fear, or some urgency about what's needed.
Rumi
Be occupied, then, with what you really value and let the thief take something else.
Rumi
I am pure light, not just a fistful of clay. The shell is not me, I came as the royal pearl within. Look at me not with outward eye but with inward vision of the heart Follow me there and see how unencumbered we become.
Rumi
All day I think about it, then at night I say it. Where did I come from, and what am I supposed to be doing? I have no idea. My soul is from elsewhere, I'm sure of that, and I intend to end up there.
Rumi
Fasting is the first principle of medicine fast and see the strength of the spirit reveal itself.
Rumi
Love cannot be learned or taught. Love comes as Grace.
Rumi
People of the world don't look at themselves, and so they blame one another.
Rumi
Break your pitcher against a rock. We don't need any longer to haul pieces of the ocean around.
Rumi
Friendship of the wise is good a wise enemy is better than a foolish friend.
Rumi
Every moment is made glorious by the light of love.
Rumi
Travelers, it is late. Life's sun is going to set. During these brief days that you have strength, be quick and spare no effort of your wings
Rumi
I am weary of personal worrying, in love with the art of madness.
Rumi
Clean out your ears, don't listen for what you already know.
Rumi
Each has to enter the nest made by the other imperfect bird.
Rumi
To live without you is to be robbed of love and what is life without it? To live without you is death to me, my love but some call it life.
Rumi
Submit to a daily practice. Your loyalty to that is a ring at the door. Keep knocking, and the joy inside will eventually open a window and look out to see who's there.
Rumi
This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet.
Rumi
In the garden I see only your face From trees and blossoms I inhale only your fragrance.
Rumi
