More quotes by 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
Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.
Rumi
This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. Welcome and entertain them all!
Rumi
The feelings trembled and flapped in his chest like a bird newly put in a cage.
Rumi
Everyone sees the unseen in proportion to the clarity of his hear.
Rumi
Keep silent, because the world of silence is a vast fullness
Rumi
The heart is your student, for love is the only way we learn.
Rumi
Poverty is not for the sake of hardship. No, it is there because nothing exists but Allah. Poverty unlocks the door - what a blessed key!
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
Give yourself completely to the one you call God. If you are not doing it you are wasting your time here.
Rumi
Like the birds of the sea, men come from the ocean-the ocean of the soul. How could this bird, born from that sea, make his dwelling here?
Rumi
In Silence there is eloquence. Stop weaving and see how the pattern improves.
Rumi
Your eyelashes will write on my heart the poem that could never come from the pen of a poet.
Rumi
The drum of the realization of the promise is beating, we are sweeping the road to the sky. Your joy is here today, what remains for tomorrow?
Rumi
What hurts the soul? To live without tasting the water of its own essence.
Rumi
Oh lovers, where are you going? Who are you looking for? Your beloved is right here.
Rumi
Hungry, you're a dog, angry and bad-natured. having eaten your fill, you become a carcass you lie down like a wall, senseless. At one time a dog, at another time a carcass, how will you run with lions, or follow the saints?
Rumi
At night, I open the window and ask the moon to come and press its face against mine. Breathe into me. Close the language-door and open the love-window. The moon won't use the door, only the window.
Rumi
You had better run from me. My words are fire.
Rumi
You run back and forth listening for unusual events, peering into the faces of travelers. Why are you looking at me like a madman? I have lost a friend. Please forgive me.
Rumi
