More quotes by Rumi
Know mankind well, don't degrade every man as evil, and don't exalt every man thinking he is good. He who cannot discover himself cannot discover the world.
Rumi

Rumi

Rumi
There's no need to travel anywhere. Journey within yourself.

Rumi
Inside the Great Mystery that is, we don't really own anything. What is this competition we feel then, before we go, one at a time, through the same gate?
Rumi
All that you think is rain is not. Behind the veil angels sometimes weep.
Rumi
All the world Loves You, but You are nowhere to be found, Hidden and yet . . . completely obvious!

Rumi
Nothing I say can explain to you Divine Love Yet all of creation cannot seem to stop talking about it.
Rumi
You have been hiding so long aimlessly drifting in the sea of my love Even so You have always been connected to me Connected, revealed in the known in the unmanifest I am life itself
Rumi
Keep on knocking 'til the joy inside opens a window look to see who's there

Even when tied in a thousand knots, the string is still but one.
Rumi
