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
Study me as much as you like, you will not know me, for I differ in a hundred ways from what you see me to be. Put yourself behind my eyes and see me as I see myself, for I have chosen to dwell in a place you cannot see.
Rumi
What shall I say, O Muslims, I know not myself, I am neither a Christian, nor a Jew, nor a Zoroastrian, nor a Muslim.
Rumi
The very center of your heart is where life begins. The most beautiful place on earth.
Rumi
I lost everything i have, found myself.
Rumi
...one cannot lodge in if.
Rumi
If you want to win hearts, sow the seeds of Love. If you want heaven, stop scattering thorns on the road.
Rumi
In Silence there is eloquence.
Rumi
Last night you left me and slept your own deep sleep. Tonight you turn and turn. I say, 'You and I will be together till the Universe dissolves.' You mumble back things you thought of when you were drunk.
Rumi
Bathe in the splendor of your own Light.
Rumi
Work on your stony qualities and become resplendent like the ruby. Practice self-denial and accept difficulty. Always see infinite life in letting the self die. Your stoniness will decrease your ruby nature will grow. The signs of self-existence will leave your body, and ecstasy will take you over.
Rumi
Stay with friends who support you in these. Talk with them about sacred texts, and how you are doing, and how they are doing, and keep your practices together.
Rumi
That's how you came here, like a star without a name. Move across the night sky with those anonymous lights.
Rumi
Tender words we spoke to one another are sealed in the secret vaults of heaven. One day like rain, they will fall to earth and grow green all over the world.
Rumi
When you see anyone complaining of such and such a person's ill-nature and bad temper, know that the complainant is bad-tempered, forasmuch as he speaks ill of that bad-tempered person, because he alone is good-tempered who is quietly forbearing towards the bad-tempered and ill-natured.
Rumi
I Wish I Could Give You A Taste Of The Burning Fire Of Love. There Is A Fire Blazing Inside Of Me. If I Cry About It, Or If I Don’t, The Fire Is At Work, Night And Day.
Rumi
Actually, your soul and mine are the same. We appear and disappear with each other.
Rumi
Love possesses seven hundred wings, and each one extends from the highest heaven to the lowest earth.
Rumi
You have mourned over others now sit down for a while and weep over your own self.
Rumi
He has afflicted you from every direction in order to pull you back to the directionless.
Rumi
When you're traveling, ask the traveler for advice / not someone whose lameness keeps him in one place.
Rumi
