I want a trouble-maker for a lover, Blood spiller, blood drinker, a heart of flame, Who quarrels with the sky and fights with fate, Who burns like fire on the rushing sea.

When you notice a fault in your neighbour, search for the same in yourself.
Rumi
You do not see clearly the evil in yourself, else you would hate yourself with all your soul. Like the lion who sprang at his image in the water, you are only hurting yourself, O foolish man. When you reach the bottom of the well of your own nature, then you will know that the vileness was from yourself.
Rumi
Stay in the spiritual fire. Let it cook you.
Rumi

Rumi
If you want to be more alive, love is the truest health.
Rumi
And so it is, that both the Devil and the angelic Spirit present us with objects of desire to awaken our power of choice.
Rumi
Whatever lifts the corners of your mouth, trust that
Rumi
Beyond what we wish and what we fear may happen we have another life, as clear and free as a mountain stream.
Rumi
Be occupied, then, with what you really value and let the thief take something else.
Rumi
I grow silent. Dear soul, you speak.
Rumi
Know that the outward form passes away, but the world of reality remains forever. How long will you play at loving the shape of the jug? Leave the jug go, seek the water!
Rumi
