More quotes by Rumi
Friendship of the wise is good a wise enemy is better than a foolish friend.
Rumi
Your name is upon my tongue your image is in my sight your memory is in my heart where can I send these words that I write ?
Rumi
Do you think I know what I'm doing? That for one breath or half-breath I belong to myself? As much as a pen knows what it's writing, or the ball can guess where it's going next.
Rumi
There is a voice that doesn’t use words. Listen.
Rumi
A SEEING eye is better than three hundred blind men's: The eye can distinguish pearls from pebbles.
Rumi
I honor those who try to rid themselves of any lying, who empty the self and have only clear being there.
Rumi
Wherever you stand, be the soul of that place.
Rumi
This world's existence is one night long. There's a great lively gathering that night, but some people sleep through it.
Rumi
To a frog that's never left his pond, the ocean seems like a gamble. Look what he's giving up: security, mastery of his world, recognition! The ocean frog just shakes his head. I can't explain where I live, but someday I'll take you there.
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
You have mourned over others now sit down for a while and weep over your own self.
Rumi
Every moment, a voice, out of this world, calls on our soul, to wake up and rise.
Rumi
What was said to the rose that made it open, was said to me, here in my chest.
Rumi
Why, when God's world is so big, did you fall asleep in a prison, of all places?
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
LOVE comes of its own free will, it can't be learned in any school!
Rumi
Enough of words. Come to me without a sound.
Rumi
Beauty and Love are as body and soul. Beauty is the mine, LOVE is the diamond. They have together since the beginning of time- Side by side, step by step.
Rumi
A new moon teaches gradualness and deliberation and how one gives birth to oneself slowly. Patience with small details makes perfect a large work, like the universe. What nine months of attention does for an embryo forty early mornings will do for your gradually growing wholeness
Rumi
LOVE is what gives joy to giving joy.
Rumi
