To a frog that's never left his pond, the ocean seems like a gamble. Look what he's giving up: security, mastery of his world, recognition! The ocean frog just shakes his head. I can't explain where I live, but someday I'll take you there.
Rumi

More quotes by Rumi
To live without you is to be robbed of love and what is life without it? To live without you is death to me, my love but some call it life.
Rumi
The sweetness and delights of the resting-place are in proportion to the pain endured on the Journey. Only when you suffer the pangs and tribulations of exile will you truly enjoy your homecoming.
Rumi
Beauty surrounds us.
Rumi
They say there is a doorway from heart to heart, but what is the use of a door when there are no walls?
Rumi
Your earthly lover can be charming and coquettish but never very faithful. The true lover is the one who on your final day opens a thousand doors.
Rumi
Walk patiently through this troubled world, and you will find great treasure. Even though your house may be small, look within it!
Rumi
Carry your baggage towards silence , when you seek the signs of the way.
Rumi
Why am I seeking? I am the same as he. His essence speaks through me. I have been looking for myself
Rumi
People who repress desires often turn, suddenly, into hypocrites.
Rumi
He is a letter to everyone. You open it. It says, Live.
Rumi
You believe God is not there, but He is, Hidden in the secret of the divine mystery
Rumi
If Your Eyes Are Opened, You'll See The Things Worth Seeing.
Rumi
You suppose you are the trouble But you are the cure You suppose that you are the lock on the door But you are the key that opens it It's too bad that you want to be someone else You don't see your own face, your own beauty Yet, no face is more beautiful than yours.
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
The lovers of God have no religion but God alone.
Rumi
From the Distance You only See My Light Come closer and You will Know that I Am You.
Rumi
You are the Soul and the medicine for what wounds the Soul.
Rumi
Life is balance of holding on and letting go.
Rumi
The only way to measure a lover is by the grandeur of the beloved.
Rumi
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I'll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass the world is too full to talk about.
Rumi
