I am a drunkard from another kind of tavern. I dance to a silent tune. I am the symphony of stars.

More quotes by Rumi
Remember God so much that you are forgotten.
Rumi
When someone beats a rug, the blows are not against the rug, but against the dust in it.
Rumi
Someone who goes with a half a loaf of bread to a small place that fits like a nest around him, someone who wants no more, who is not himself longed for by anyone else. He is a letter to everyone. You open it. It says, Live.
Rumi
How do I know who I am or where I am? How could a single wave locate itself in an ocean.
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
You left and I cried tears of blood. My sorrow grows. Its not just that You left. But when You left my eyes went with You. Now, how will I cry?
Rumi
The ground submits to the sky and suffers whatever comes. Tell me, is the Earth worse for giving in like that?
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
You do not see clearly the evil in yourself, else you would hate yourself with all your soul. Like the lion who sprang at his image in the water, you are only hurting yourself, O foolish man. When you reach the bottom of the well of your own nature, then you will know that the vileness was from yourself.
Rumi
A SEEING eye is better than three hundred blind men's: The eye can distinguish pearls from pebbles.
Rumi
I have no fear to burn my mouth and throat I’m ready to drink every flame and more.
Rumi
Through love scraps of copper are turned to gold.
Rumi
In each moment the fire rages, it will burn away a hundred veils. And carry you a thousand steps toward your goal.
Rumi
What will our children do in the morning if they do not see us fly?
Rumi
Your hand opens and closes, opens and closes. If it were always a fist or always stretched open, you would be paralysed. Your deepest presence is in every small contracting and expanding, the two as beautifully balanced and coordinated as birds' wings.
Rumi
You wander from room to room Hunting for the diamond necklace That is already around your neck!
Rumi
I found the Divine within my Heart.
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
War, like children's fights, are meaningless, pitiless, and contemptible.
Rumi
Leave that which is not, but appears to be. Seek that which is, but is not apparent.
Rumi
