Do not sit long with a sad friend. When you go to a garden do you look at the weeds? Spend more time with the roses and jasmines.

More quotes by Rumi
Angels dance only with You, Beloved and only before You do I bow in adoration. You may accept me or not but I will be at your feet forever.
Rumi
Sometimes you hear a voice through the door calling you... This turning toward what you deeply love saves you.
Rumi
In the garden I see only your face From trees and blossoms I inhale only your fragrance.
Rumi
Be a lamp, or a lifeboat, or a ladder. Help someone's soul heal. Walk out of your house like a shepherd.
Rumi
There's a path from your HEART to mine.
Rumi
The mirror of the heart must be clear, so you can discern the ugly from the beautiful.
Rumi
Your heart knows the way. Run in that direction.
Rumi
In real existence there is only unity.
Rumi
The world is a mirror, an imaging of Love's perfection.
Rumi
There is an unseen sweetness in the stomach’s emptiness. We are lutes. When the sound box is filled, no music can come forth. When the brain and the belly burn from fasting, every moment a new song rises out of the fire. The mists clear, and a new vitality makes you spring up the steps before you . . .
Rumi
Since Love has made ruins of my heart The sun must come and illumine them. Such generosity has broken me with shame.
Rumi
Everything is emptiness. Everything else, accidental. Emptiness brings peace to your loving. Everything else, disease. In this world of trickery, emptiness is what your soul wants.
Rumi
Flattery's fire is hidden. Its sweet taste is apparent, but the smoke is bound to come out at last.
Rumi
How do I know who I am or where I am? How could a single wave locate itself in an ocean.
Rumi
Whenever they rebuild an old building, they must first of all destroy the old one.
Rumi
Love asks us to enjoy our life For nothing good can come of death. Who is alive? I ask. Those who are born of love. Seek us in love itself, Seek love in us ourselves. Sometimes I venerate love, Sometimes it venerates me.
Rumi
Love is an open secret, the most obvious thing in the world and the most hidden, with no why to how it keeps its mystery.
Rumi
Yesterday is gone and took away its tale. Today we must live a fresh story again.
Rumi
When lovers of life get ready to dance, the earth shakes and the sky trembles.
Rumi
I have no companion but Love, no beginning, no end, no dawn. The Soul calls from within me: 'You, ignorant of the way of Love, set Me free.'
Rumi
