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.

More quotes by Rumi
Your mind, this globe of awareness, is a starry universe. When you push off with your foot, a thousand new roads become clear.
Rumi
Love itself describes its own perfection. Be speechless and listen.
Rumi
Don’t wait any longer. Dive in the ocean, Leave and let the sea be you.
Rumi
There is some kiss we want with the whole of our lives.
Rumi
In truth everything and everyone Is a shadow of the Beloved, And our seeking is His seeking And our words are His words... We search for Him here and there, while looking right at Him. Sitting by His side, we ask: 'O Beloved, where is the Beloved?'
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
There is a community of the spirit. Join it, and feel the delight of walking in the noisy street and being the noise. Drink all your passion, and be a disgrace. Close both eyes to see with the other eye.
Rumi
Even when tied in a thousand knots, the string is still but one.
Rumi
Work in the invisible world at least as hard as you do in the visible.
Rumi
The heart has its own language. The heart knows a hundred thousand ways to speak.
Rumi
Your eyes are even smaller, yet they behold the world.
Rumi
They say there is a doorway from heart to heart, but what is the use of a door when there are no walls?
Rumi
Where the lips are silent the heart has a thousand tongues.
Rumi
We can't find the truth listening to our own voice's echo. We can find ourselves only in someone's mirror
Rumi
When we practice loving kindness and compassion we are the first ones to profit.
Rumi
The world is a mirror, an imaging of Love's perfection.
Rumi
Whatever you lost through fate, be certain that it saved you from pain.
Rumi
But listen to me. For one moment quit being sad. Hear blessings dropping their blossoms around you.
Rumi
...one cannot lodge in if.
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
