More quotes by Rumi
The Lover is ever drunk with Love. He is mad. She is free. He sings with delight. She dances in ecstasy. Caught by our own thoughts, we worry about everything. But once we get drunk on that Love Whatever will be, will be.
Rumi
Last night my teacher taught me the lesson of Poverty: Having nothing and wanting nothing.
Rumi
Fasting blinds the body in order to open the eyes of your soul.
Rumi
Poems are rough notations for the music we are.
Rumi
Everything is emptiness. Everything else, accidental. Emptiness brings peace to your loving. Everything else, disease. In this world of trickery, emptiness is what your soul wants.
Rumi
Be drunk with Love, for Love is all that exists. Where is intimacy found if not in the give and take of Love.
Rumi
In the house of lovers, the music never stops, the walls are made of songs & the floor dances
Rumi
Come, even if you have broken your vow one thousand times, come, yet again, come, come.
Rumi

Rumi
Last night I learned how to be a lover of God. To live in this world and call nothing my own.
Rumi
The feelings trembled and flapped in his chest like a bird newly put in a cage.
Rumi
Silence is an ocean. Speech is a river. When the ocean is searching for you, don't walk into the language-river. Listen to the ocean, and bring your talky business to an end. Traditional words are just babbling in that presence, and babbling is a substitute for sight.
Rumi
Such a strong thing LOVE, changes everything.
Rumi
You cannot learn about Love, LOVE appears on the wings of grace.
Rumi
May these vows and this marriage be blessed.
Rumi
Patience is the key to joy.
Rumi
I will find new meaning in every joy and sorrow.
Rumi
This whole universe is but a drop of His Beauty!
Rumi
