More quotes by Rumi

Rumi
Every moment a taste of that beauty in our mouths, another stashed in a pocket. Impossible to say what: no cypress so handsome, no sunlight, a lonely hiddenness. Other pleasure gathers a crowd, starts a fight, lots of noise there. But soul beauty stays quiet..his amazing whereabouts unknown inside my heart.
Rumi
Light the incense! You have to burn to be fragrant.
Rumi
Be suspicious of what you want.
Rumi
I belong to no religion. My religion is love. Every heart is my temple.
Rumi
I should be suspicious of what I want.
Rumi
The Prophets accept all agony and trust it For the water has never feared the fire.
Rumi
Be like the sun for grace and mercy. Be like the night to cover others' faults. Be like running water for generosity. Be like death for rage and anger. Be like the Earth for modesty. Appear as you are. Be as you appear.
Rumi
