This world's existence is one night long. There's a great lively gathering that night, but some people sleep through it.

More quotes by Rumi
My soul is my guide, for my soul is of that abode. I will not speak of the earthly. I am of the unknown
Rumi
Whoever travels without a guide, needs two hundred years for a two-day journey.
Rumi
How could you reach the pearl by only looking at the sea? If you seek the pearl, be a diver: the diver needs several qualities: he must trust his rope and his life to the Friend's hand, he must stop breathing, and he must jump.
Rumi
I am bewildered by the magnificence of your beauty and wish to see you with a hundred eyes . . . I am in the house of mercy, and my heart is a place of prayer.
Rumi
Happy is the moment we sit together, with two forms, with two faces, yet one soul. You and I.
Rumi
I become a waterwheel, turning and tasting you, as long as water moves.
Rumi
Your heart mirrors not His love, Rusty with your sins it is, Remove this rust and you shall Perceive how Glorious He is.
Rumi
Whatever happens to you, don't fall in despair. Even if all the doors are closed, a secret path will be there for you that no one knows. You can't see it yet but so many paradises are at the end of this path...Be grateful! It is easy to thank after obtaining what you want, thank before having what you want.
Rumi
In this earth, in this immaculate field, we shall not plant any seeds except for compassion, except for love.
Rumi
Oh sky, without me, do not change, Oh moon, without me, do not shine Oh earth, without me, do not grow, Oh time, without me, do not go. ...Oh, you cannot go, without me.
Rumi
Love is our steady guide on this road full of hardships.
Rumi
Anyone who genuinely and consistently with both hands look for something, will find it.
Rumi
We came whirling out of nothingness, scattering stars like dust... The stars made a circle, and in the middle, we dance.
Rumi
Be motivated like the falcon, hunt gloriously. Be magnificent as the leopard, fight to win. Spend less time with nightingales and peacocks. One is all talk, the other only color.
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
Keep digging your well. Water is there somewhere.
Rumi
You are a fountain of the sun's light. I am a willow shadow on the ground. You make my raggedness silky.
Rumi
We bury our seeds and wait, Winter blocks the road, Flowers are taken prisoner underground, But then green justice tenders a spear
Rumi
The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in.
Rumi
O, Great Spirit, open my eyes, open heart's wings, open my ears to your voice in all things.
Rumi
