More quotes by Rumi
In each moment the fire rages, it will burn away a hundred veils. And carry you a thousand steps toward your goal.
Rumi
And patience flees my heart, And reason flees my mind. Oh, how drunk can I get to be, Without your love's security?
Rumi
If Your Eyes Are Opened, You'll See The Things Worth Seeing.
Rumi
Through love all that is bitter will be sweet.
Rumi
You show your worth by what you seek.
Rumi
I will find new meaning in every joy and sorrow.
Rumi
How will you know the difficulties of being human, if you are always flying off to blue perfection? Where will you plant your grief seeds? Workers need ground to scrape and hoe, not the sky of unspecified desire.
Rumi
Always check your inner state with the lord of your HEART.
Rumi
Whoever gives reverence receives reverence.
Rumi
Keep on knocking 'til the joy inside opens a window look to see who's there
Rumi
Birdsong brings relief to my longing. I am just as ecstatic as they are, but with nothing to say.
Rumi
Where the lips are silent the heart has a thousand tongues.
Rumi
When something goes wrong, accuse yourself first. Even the wisdom of Plato or Solomon can wobble and go blind
Rumi
Each has to enter the nest made by the other imperfect bird.
Rumi
Look at these worlds spinning out of nothingness. That is within your power.
Rumi
Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious.
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
If my head holds one thought wise and clear, it's You. Poor as I am, what I hold dear is You. No matter how I see myself, I'm nothing ... Anything I am entirely is You!
Rumi
In Silence there is eloquence. Stop weaving and see how the pattern improves.
Rumi
Someone who does not run toward the allure of love walks a road where nothing lives.
Rumi
