More quotes by Rumi
Love is a madman, working his wild schemes, tearing off his clothes, running through the mountains...
Rumi
Love is not written on paper, for paper can be erased. Nor is it etched on stone, for stone can be broken. But it is inscribed on a heart and there it shall remain forever.
Rumi
If you only say one prayer in a day make it Thank You.
Rumi
When you are with everyone but me, you're with no one. When you are with no one but me, you're with everyone. Instead of being so bound up with everyone, be everyone. When you become that many, you're nothing. Empty.
Rumi

Rumi

Rumi

Rumi
For the water animals, the ocean is like a garden for the land animals, it is death and pain.
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
But learn this custom from the flower: silence your tongue.

Rumi
