More quotes by Rumi
The world's flattery and hypocrisy is a sweet morsel: eat less of it, for it is full of fire. Its fire is hidden while its taste is manifest, but its smoke becomes visible in the end.
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 should sell my tongue and buy a thousand ears when that One steps near and begins to speak.
Rumi
Our death is our wedding with eternity.
Rumi
I am bewildered by the magnificence of your beauty and wish to see you with a hundred eyes . . . I am in the house of mercy, and my heart is a place of prayer.
Rumi
There is a morning inside you waiting to burst open into light.
Rumi
Be a helpful friend, and you will become a green tree with always new fruit, always deeper journeys into love.
Rumi
In Winter the bare boughs that seem to sleep Work covertly, preparing for their Spring.
Rumi
Listen my love, illumination is eternal. Now is always evolving. As there are billions of stars, there are billions of steps. As there are billions of souls, there are billions of ways to grow.
Rumi
Be an empty page, untouched by words.
Rumi
Seek the sound that never ceases. Seek the sun that never sets.
Rumi
Fasting is the first principle of medicine fast and see the strength of the spirit reveal itself.
Rumi
Only from the heart can you touch the sky.
Rumi
Every forest branch moves differently in the breeze, but as they sway they connect at the roots.
Rumi
No mirror ever became iron again No bread ever became wheat No ripened grape ever became sour fruit. Mature yourself and be secure from a change for the worse. Become the light.
Rumi
Swim out of your little pond.
Rumi
Do not sit long with a sad friend. When you go to a garden do you look at the weeds? Spend more time with the roses and jasmines.
Rumi
Suffering is a gift in its hidden mercy
Rumi
I went inside my heart to see how it was. Something there makes me hear the whole world weeping.
Rumi
Darkness may hide the trees and the flowers from the eyes but it cannot hide love from the soul.
Rumi
