More quotes by Rumi
Be quiet now and wait. It may be that the ocean one, the one we desire so to move into and become, desires us out here on land a little longer, going our sundry roads to the shore.
Rumi
One of the marvels of the world: The sight of a soul sitting in prison with the key in its hand.
Rumi
If you are wholly perplexed and in straits, have patience, for patience is the key to joy.
Rumi
In each moment the fire rages, it will burn away a hundred veils. And carry you a thousand steps toward your goal.
Rumi
Be silent. That heart speaks without tongue or lips.
Rumi
I have no fear to burn my mouth and throat I’m ready to drink every flame and more.
Rumi
The spirit is so near that you can't see it! But reach for it... don't be a jar, full of water, whose rim is always dry. Don't be the rider who gallops all night and never sees the horse that is beneath him.
Rumi
Love is not written on paper, for paper can be erased. Nor is it etched on stone, for stone can be broken. But it is inscribed on a heart and there it shall remain forever.
Rumi
When you lose all sense of self the bonds of a thousands chains will vanish. Lose yourself completely, return to the root of the root of your own soul.
Rumi
I am like the heaven, like the moon, like a candle by your glow I am all reason, all love, all soul, by your soul.
Rumi
Be like the sun for grace and mercy. Be like the night to cover others' faults. Be like running water for generosity. Be like death for rage and anger. Be like the Earth for modesty. Appear as you are. Be as you appear.
Rumi
I do not know who lives here in my chest, or why the smile comes. I am not myself, more the bare green knob of a rose that lost every leaf and petal to the morning wind.
Rumi
Now is the time to unite the Soul and the world.
Rumi
On the way there is no harder pass than this: fortunate is he who does not carry envy as a companion.
Rumi
This world is full of remedies. But you have no remedy until God opens a window for you. You may not be aware of that remedy just now. In the hour of need it will be made clear to you. The Prophet said God made a remedy for every pain.
Rumi
...Blessed is anyone who knows who he or she really is and builds a place to live there.
Rumi
Stop the words now. Open the window in the center of your chest, and let the spirits fly in and out.
Rumi
Concentrate on the Essence, concentrate on the Light.
Rumi
When there's no sign of hope in the desert, so much hope still lives inside despair. Heart, don't kill that hope.
Rumi
My lips got lost on the way to the kiss - that's how drunk I was.
Rumi
