More quotes by Rumi
You could string a hundred endless days together, My soul would find no comfort from this pain. You laugh at my tale? You may be educated But you haven’t learned to love till you’re insane
Rumi
Dancing is not just getting up painlessly, like a leaf blown on the wind dancing is when you tear your heart out and rise out of your body to hang suspended between the worlds.
Rumi
We all face death in the end. But on the way, be careful never to hurt a human heart!
Rumi
Not only the thirsty seek the water, the water as well seeks the thirsty.
Rumi
Though Destiny a hundred times waylays you,in the end it pitches a tent for you in Heaven. It is God's loving kindness to terrify you,in order to lead you to His Kingdom of safety.
Rumi
We are even higher than the heavens, we are greater than angels Why should we not transcend both? Our lodging-place is Majesty.
Rumi
Intellect in its effort to explain Love got stuck in the mud like an ass. Love alone could explain love and loving.
Rumi
I do not know who lives here in my chest, or why the smile comes. I am not myself, more the bare green knob of a rose that lost every leaf and petal to the morning wind.
Rumi
Every rose that is sweet-scented within, That rose is telling of the secrets of the Universal.
Rumi
Whatever lifts the corners of your mouth, trust that
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
The mirror of the heart must be clear, so you can discern the ugly from the beautiful.
Rumi
In real existence there is only unity.
Rumi
The garden of the world has no limits except in your mind. Its presence is more beautiful than the stars with more clarity than the polished mirror of your heart.
Rumi
When you have indulged a lust, your wing drops off you become lame, abandoned by a fantasy. …People fancy they are enjoying themselves, but they are really tearing out their wings for the sake of an illusion.
Rumi
Bathe in the splendor of your own Light.
Rumi
Darkness is your candle. Your boundaries are your quest.
Rumi
Love asks us to enjoy our life For nothing good can come of death. Who is alive? I ask. Those who are born of love. Seek us in love itself, Seek love in us ourselves. Sometimes I venerate love, Sometimes it venerates me.
Rumi
if i can only recount the story of my life right out of my body flames will grow
Rumi
Counterfeiters exist because there is such a thing as real gold.
Rumi
