I looked for God. I went to a temple and I didn't find him there. Then I went to a church and I didn't find him there. The I went to a mosque and I didn't find him there. Then finally I looked in my heart and there he was.

More quotes by Rumi
You rave about the Holy Place (Masjid al-Haram) and say you've visited God's garden but where is your bunch of flowers? There is some merit in the suffering you have endured but what a pity you have not discovered the Makkah thats inside
Rumi
I am so close, I may look distant. So completely mixed with you, I may look separate. So out in the open, I appear hidden. So silent, because I am constantly talking with you.
Rumi
Intellect in its effort to explain Love got stuck in the mud like an ass. Love alone could explain love and loving.
Rumi
Lovers have heartaches That can't be cured by drugs Or sleep, Or games, But only by seeing their beloved.
Rumi
Let's ask God to help us to self-control for one who lacks it, lacks his grace.
Rumi
Lightning, your presence from ground to sky, no one knows what becomes of me, when you take me so quickly.
Rumi
Every door is another passage, another boundary we have to go beyond.
Rumi
You wander from room to room Hunting for the diamond necklace That is already around your neck!
Rumi
The same wind that uproots trees makes the grass shine. The lordly wind loves the weakness and the lowness of grasses. Never brag of being strong. The axe doesn't worry how thick the branches are. It cuts them to pieces. But not the leaves. It leaves the leaves alone.
Rumi
The lover never despairs. For a committed heart everything is possible.
Rumi
Love’s secret is always lifting its head out from under the covers, “Here I am!”
Rumi
Whatever you know, or don’t - only Love is real.
Rumi
That's how you came here, like a star without a name. Move across the night sky with those anonymous lights.
Rumi
Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes. Because for those who love with heart and soul there is no such thing as separation.
Rumi
Look at Love with the eyes of your Heart.
Rumi
There cannot be self-restraint in the absence of desire: when there is no adversary, what avails thy courage? Hark, do not castrate thyself, do not become a monk: chastity depends on the existence of lust.
Rumi
He has afflicted you from every direction in order to pull you back to the directionless.
Rumi
The rose's rarest essence lives in the thorns.
Rumi
Nothing is meaningful except surrendering to love. Do it.
Rumi
If you # love love, look for yourself.
Rumi
