No mirror ever became iron again No bread ever became wheat No ripened grape ever became sour fruit. Mature yourself and be secure from a change for the worse. Become the light.

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
Criticism polishes my mirror.
Rumi
With each passing moment, a Soul sets off to find Itself.
Rumi
When LOVE for GOD has been doubled in your HEART, there is no doubt that GOD has love for YOU.
Rumi
Passion and desire bind your Heart. Remove the locks. Become a key, become a key . . .
Rumi
I died as a mineral and became a plant, I died as a plant and rose to animal, I died as an animal and I was Man. Why should I fear? When was I less by dying?
Rumi
Start a huge, foolish project, like Noah…it makes absolutely no difference what people think of you.
Rumi
A lifetime without Love is of no account Love is the Water of Life Drink it down with heart and soul!
Rumi
Love is the Water of Life Everything other than love for the most beautiful God is agony of the spirit, though it be sugar- eating. What is agony of the spirit? To advance toward death without seizing hold of the Water of Life.
Rumi
There's a path from your HEART to mine.
Rumi
I am like the heaven, like the moon, like a candle by your glow I am all reason, all love, all soul, by your soul.
Rumi
Our greatest strength lies in the gentleness and tenderness of our heart.
Rumi
Love calls - everywhere and always. We're sky bound. Are you coming?
Rumi
What comes, will go. What is found, will be lost again. But what you are is beyond coming and going and beyond description.
Rumi
I should be suspicious of what I want.
Rumi
Many prayers are declined because of the rank odor of a corrupt heart, rising through the beautiful words. Let the words be wrong but the meaning right. . . . That flawed utterance is dearer to God!
Rumi
To Love is to reach God.
Rumi
Silence is an ocean. Speech is a river. When the ocean is searching for you, don't walk into the language-river. Listen to the ocean, and bring your talky business to an end. Traditional words are just babbling in that presence, and babbling is a substitute for sight.
Rumi
How do I know who I am or where I am? How could a single wave locate itself in an ocean.
Rumi
In the garden I see only your face From trees and blossoms I inhale only your fragrance.
Rumi
