Students of cunning have consumed their hearts and learned only tricks they've thrown away real riches: patience, self-sacrifice, generosity. Rich thought opens the way.

More quotes by Rumi
A lover is always accused of something. But when he finds his love, whatever was lost in the looking comes back completely changed.
Rumi
Last night I learned how to be a lover of God. To live in this world and call nothing my own.
Rumi
In the garden I see only your face From trees and blossoms I inhale only your fragrance.
Rumi
We are as the flute, and the music in us is from thee we are as the mountain and the echo in us is from thee.
Rumi
There's no need to travel anywhere. Journey within yourself.
Rumi
Words are a pretext. It is the inner bond that draws one person to another, not words.
Rumi
Bitter your acts, bitter am I, Kindness your deeds, kindness am I, Pleasant and gentle, so you are, Fine honeyed lips and sweet talker.
Rumi
Do not grieve over any joy that has gone forever, for it will return to you in another form, know that for sure.
Rumi
Thinking gives off smoke to prove the existence of fire. A mystic sits inside the burning. There are wonderful shapes in rising smoke that imagination loves to watch. But it's a mistake to leave the fire for that filmy sight. Stay here at the flame's core.
Rumi
Do you think I know what I'm doing? That for one breath or half-breath I belong to myself? As much as a pen knows what it's writing, or the ball can guess where it's going next.
Rumi
A white flower grows in the quietness. Let your tongue become that flower.
Rumi
He is a letter to everyone. You open it. It says, Live.
Rumi
A soul which is not clothed with the inner garment of Love should be ashamed of its existence.
Rumi
Many prayers are declined because of the rank odor of a corrupt heart, rising through the beautiful words. Let the words be wrong but the meaning right. . . . That flawed utterance is dearer to God!
Rumi
How can you ever hope to know the Beloved Without becoming in every cell the Lover?
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
People want you to be happy. Don't keep serving them your pain! If you could untie your wings and free your soul of jealousy, you and everyone around you would fly up like doves.
Rumi
Whether you love God or you love a human being, if you love enough you will come into the presence of Love itself.
Rumi
Ecstatic Love is an ocean, and the Milky Way is a flake of foam floating on it.
Rumi
There is a field beyond all notions of right and wrong. Come, meet me there.
Rumi
