More quotes by Rumi
You left ground and sky weeping, mind and soul full of grief. No one can take your place in existence or in absence.
Rumi
In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.
Rumi
I am part of the load not rightly balanced . . .
Rumi
You are not just the drop in the ocean. You are the mighty ocean in the drop.
Rumi
We came whirling out of nothingness, scattering stars like dust... The stars made a circle, and in the middle, we dance.
Rumi
To Love is to reach God.
Rumi
I’ve been looking for a long, long time, for this thing called love, I’ve ridden comets across the sky, and I’ve looked below and above. Then one day I looked inside myself, and this is what I found, A golden sun residing there, beaming forth God’s light and sound.
Rumi
Love is from the infinite, and will remain until eternity.
Rumi
Let your throat-song be clear and strong enough to make an emperor fall full-length suppliant, at the door.
Rumi
I know you're tired but come, this is the way.
Rumi
A new moon teaches gradualness and deliberation and how one gives birth to oneself slowly. Patience with small details makes perfect a large work, like the universe. What nine months of attention does for an embryo forty early mornings will do for your gradually growing wholeness
Rumi
If you love someone, you are always joined with them--in joy, in absence, in solitude, in strife.
Rumi
There's a path from your HEART to mine.
Rumi
What I had thought of before as God, I met today in a human being.
Rumi
Friendship of the wise is good a wise enemy is better than a foolish friend.
Rumi
In this life many demolitions are actually renovations.
Rumi
Each moment from all sides rushes to us the call to love. We are running to contemplate its vast green field. Do you want to come with us?
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
A lifetime without Love is of no account Love is the Water of Life Drink it down with heart and soul!
Rumi
Everything you possess of skill, and wealth, and handicraft, wasn't it first merely a thought and a quest?
Rumi
