More quotes by Rumi
The middle path is the way to wisdom
Rumi
In their seeking, wisdom and madness are one and the same. On the path of love, friend and stranger are one and the same.
Rumi
Through love all that is bitter will be sweet.
Rumi
Even though you tie a hundred knots, the string remains one.
Rumi
This is love: to fly toward a secret sky
Rumi
To find the Beloved, you must become the Beloved.
Rumi
Dance until you shatter yourself.
Rumi
What a piece of bread looks like depends on whether you are hungry or not.
Rumi
There is a city in which you find everything you desire-handsome people, pleasures, ornaments of every kind-all that the natural person craves. However, you cannot find a single wise person there.
Rumi
Do not worry if all the candles in the world flicker and die. We have the spark that starts the fire.
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
All day I think about it, then at night I say it. Where did I come from, and what am I supposed to be doing? I have no idea. My soul is from elsewhere, I'm sure of that, and I intend to end up there.
Rumi
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.
Rumi
Beyond the rightness or wrongness of things there is a field, I'll meet you there
Rumi
Brother, stand the pain. Escape the poison of your impulses. The sky will bow to your beauty, if you do. Learn to light the candle. Rise with the sun. Turn away from the cave of your sleeping. That way a thorn expands to a rose.
Rumi
A lover in life will be a lover in death, a lover in the tomb, a lover in paradise, a lover on the day of resurrection.
Rumi
People who repress desires often turn, suddenly, into hypocrites.
Rumi
We are all bathed in the same light.
Rumi
Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.
Rumi
Reason is powerless in the expression of Love. Love alone is capable of revealing the truth of Love and being a Lover. The way of our prophets is the way of Truth. If you want to live, die in Love die in Love if you want to remain alive.
Rumi
