There’s nothing left of me. I’m like a ruby held up to the sunrise. Is it still a stone, or a world made of redness? It has no resistance to sunlight.

More quotes by Rumi
Load the ship and set out. No one knows for certain whether the vessel will sink or reach the harbor. Cautious people say, 'I'll do nothing until I can be sure.' Merchants know better. If you do nothing, you lose. Don't be one of those merchants who wont risk the ocean.
Rumi
I cannot stop asking. If I could taste one sip of an answer, I could break out of this prison for drunks.
Rumi
The ocean of the body crashes against the ocean of the heart. Between them is a barrier they cannot cross.
Rumi
You are the mirror of divine beauty.
Rumi
Everything in the universe is within you. Ask all from yourself.
Rumi
Why struggle to open a door between us when the whole wall is an illusion?
Rumi
If you want to win hearts, sow the seeds of Love. If you want heaven, stop scattering thorns on the road.
Rumi
I said, “I just want to know you and then disappear.” She said, “Knowing me does not mean dying.
Rumi
Everything in the universe is a pitcher brimming with wisdom and beauty.
Rumi
That's how you came here, like a star without a name. Move across the night sky with those anonymous lights.
Rumi
From myself I am copper, through you, friend, I am gold. From myself I’m a stone, but through you, I am a gem!
Rumi
You think because you understand 'one' you must also understand 'two', because one and one make two. But you must also understand 'and'.
Rumi
For years, copying other people, I tried to know myself. From within, I couldn't decide what to do. Unable to see, I heard my name being called. Then I walked outside.
Rumi
From the urgent way lovers want each other to the seeker's search for truth, all moving is from the mover. Every Pull Draws Us To The Ocean.
Rumi
Bring the sky beneath your feet and listen to celestial music everywhere.
Rumi
Every moment I shape my destiny with a chisel - I am the carpenter of my own soul.
Rumi
Those doing soul work, who want the searing truth more than solace or applause, know each other right away. Those who want something else turn and take a seat in another room. Soul-makers find each other’s company.
Rumi
Your heart knows the way. Run in that direction.
Rumi
Even when you tear its petals off one after another, the rose keeps laughing and doesn’t bend in pain. “Why should I be afflicted because of a thorn? It is the thorn which taught me how to laugh.” Whatever you lost through fate, be certain that it saved you from pain.
Rumi
Tender words we spoke to one another are sealed in the secret vaults of heaven. One day like rain, they will fall to earth and grow green all over the world.
Rumi
