More quotes by Rumi
The whole business of love is to drown in the sea.
Rumi
Your legs will get heavy and tired. Then comes a moment of feeling the wings you've grown, lifting.
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
The beginning of pride and hatred lies in worldly desire, and the strength of your desire if from habit. When an evil tendency becomes confirmed by habit, rage is triggered when anyone restrains you.
Rumi
Paradise is surrounded by what we dislike the fires of hell are surrounded by what we desire.
Rumi
Since in order to speak, one must first listen, learn to speak by listening.
Rumi

Rumi
How should Spring bring forth a garden on hard stone? Become earth, that you may grow flowers of many colors. For you have been heart-breaking rock. Once, for the sake of experiment, be earth!
Rumi
When The Goodwill Of Hearts Is With You, Fountains Of Wisdom Will Begin To Flow From Within Your Own Being.
Rumi
Whoever is sitting with friends is in the midst of a flower garden, though he may be in the fire. Whoever sits with an enemy is in the fire, even though he is in the midst of a garden.
Rumi
I am a bird of God's garden and I do not belong to this dusty world For a day or two they have put me here in this cage of my own body I did not come here of my own I will not return of my own to my own country.
Rumi
Whenever they rebuild an old building, they must first of all destroy the old one.
Rumi
The rose does best as a rose. Lilies make the best lilies. And look! You - the best you around!
Rumi
I will find new meaning in every joy and sorrow.
Rumi
Suffering is a gift in its hidden mercy
Rumi
Inside the Great Mystery that is, we don't really own anything. What is this competition we feel then, before we go, one at a time, through the same gate?
Rumi
Whatever happens to you, don't fall in despair. Even if all the doors are closed, a secret path will be there for you that no one knows. You can't see it yet but so many paradises are at the end of this path...Be grateful! It is easy to thank after obtaining what you want, thank before having what you want.
Rumi
This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. Welcome and entertain them all!
Rumi
And he misses her Like a wind starved sail He sits knowing what direction to go But the current keeps pulling him Down river.
Rumi
