I said to the night, If you are in love with the moon, it is because you never stay for long. The night turned to me and said, It is not my fault. I never see the Sun, how can I know that love is endless?

More quotes by Rumi
Love is the bridge between you and everything.
Rumi
Be like a river in generosity and giving help. Be like a sun in tenderness and pity. Be like night when covering other's faults. Be like a dead when furious and angry. Be like earth in modesty and humbleness. Be like a sea in tolerance. Be as you are or as you look like.
Rumi
When someone critises or disagrees with you, a small ant of hatred and antagonism is born in your heart. If you do not squash that ant at once, it might grow into a snake, or even a dragon.
Rumi
But learn this custom from the flower: silence your tongue.
Rumi
Every moment is made glorious by the light of love.
Rumi
Escape from the black cloud that surrounds you. Then you will see your own light as radiant as the full moon.
Rumi
Try something different. Surrender.
Rumi
When someone beats a rug, the blows are not against the rug, but against the dust in it.
Rumi
Soul of all souls, life of all life - you are That. Seen and unseen, moving and unmoving - you are That. The road that leads to the City is endless Go without head and feet and you'll already be there. What else could you be? - you are That.
Rumi
For only when faithfulness turns to betrayal And betrayal into trust Can any human being become part of the truth.
Rumi
Disputational knowing wants customers. It has no soul.
Rumi

Rumi
Why set your heart on a piece ofearth,seek out the source which shines forever.
Rumi
Feeling lonely and ignoble indicates that you haven't been patient.
Rumi
Feel the delight of walking in the noisy street and being the noise.
Rumi
Someone who does not run toward the allure of love walks a road where nothing lives.
Rumi
To love is human. To feel pain is human. Yet to still love despite the pain is pure angel.
Rumi
Don't allow your animal nature to rule your reason.
Rumi
Knowest thou not the beauty of thine own face? Quit this temper that leads thee to war with thyself.
Rumi
Be suspicious of what you want.
