If you don't try to fly and so break yourself apart, you will be broken open by death, when it's too late for all you could become.

More quotes by Rumi
When you are with everyone but me, you're with no one. When you are with no one but me, you're with everyone. Instead of being so bound up with everyone, be everyone. When you become that many, you're nothing. Empty.
Rumi
These pains you feel are messengers. Listen to them.
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
Everything has to do with loving and not loving.
Rumi
This world's existence is one night long. There's a great lively gathering that night, but some people sleep through it.
Rumi
I will be waiting here.... For your silence to break, For your soul to shake, For your love to wake!
Rumi
Why am I seeking? I am the same as he. His essence speaks through me. I have been looking for myself
Rumi
All we really want is love's confusing joy.
Rumi
Wherever you are, and whatever you do, be in love.
Rumi
Mount the stallion of love and do not fear the path, love’s stallion knows the way exactly. With one leap, Love’s horse will carry you home.
Rumi
Are you searching for the river of your soul? Then come out of your prison. Leave the stream and join the river that flows into the ocean.
Rumi
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.
Rumi
The lover never despairs. For a committed heart everything is possible.
Rumi
Silence is the sea, and speech is like the river. The sea is seeking you: don't seek the river. Don't turn your head away from the signs offered by the sea.
Rumi
The pure heart is a spotless mirror in which images of infinite beauty are reflected.
Rumi
This poetry. I never know what I'm going to say.
Rumi
Humble yourself, you’ll grow greater than the world.Your Self will be revealed to you, without you.
Rumi
You run back and forth listening for unusual events, peering into the faces of travelers. Why are you looking at me like a madman? I have lost a friend. Please forgive me.
Rumi
You show your worth by what you seek.
Rumi
LOVE and LOVER live in Eternity. Other desires are substitutes for that way of being.
Rumi
