I saw grief drinking a cup of sorrow and called out, 'It tastes sweet, does it not?' 'You've caught me,' grief answered, 'and you've ruined my business. How can I sell sorrow, when you know it's a blessing?

More quotes by Rumi
I died as a mineral and became a plant, I died as a plant and rose to animal, I died as an animal and I was Man. Why should I fear? When was I less by dying?
Rumi
The satiated person and the hungry one do not see the same thing when they look upon a loaf of bread.
Rumi
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I'll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass the world is too full to talk about.
Rumi
People who repress desires often turn, suddenly, into hypocrites.
Rumi
Whoever gives reverence receives reverence.
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
Always search for your innermost nature in those you are with, as rose oil imbibes from roses.
Rumi
And if you are a rose, I am rose-shadow.
Rumi
When I am with you, we stay up all night. When you're not here, I can't go to sleep. Praise God for those two insomnias! And the difference between them.
Rumi
Everything that you want, you are already that.
Rumi
Let go of your mind and then be mindful. Close your ears and listen!
Rumi
When something goes wrong, accuse yourself first. Even the wisdom of Plato or Solomon can wobble and go blind
Rumi
Remember, the entrance door to the sanctuary is inside you.
Rumi
Journey from the self to the Self and find the mine of gold. Leave behind what is sour and bitter and move toward the sweet.
Rumi
We are born of love. Love is our mother.
Rumi
What draws friends together does not conform to the laws of nature.
Rumi
Rise up nimbly and go on your strange journey to the ocean of meanings.... Leave and don't look away from the sun as you go, in whose light you're sometimes crescent, sometimes full.
Rumi
When you seek Love with all your Heart, you shall find its echoes in the universe.
Rumi
Know mankind well, don't degrade every man as evil, and don't exalt every man thinking he is good. He who cannot discover himself cannot discover the world.
Rumi
You are the soul of the soul of the universe, and your name is Love.
Rumi
