Fish love the ocean. Snakes move like earth-fish inside a mountain,well away from seawater. Certain sunfish,though,turn snakes into ocean lovers.

More quotes by Rumi
I said to the night, If you are in love with the moon, it is because you never stay for long. The night turned to me and said, It is not my fault. I never see the Sun, how can I know that love is endless?
Rumi
This is how it always is when I finish a poem. A great silence overcomes me and I wonder why I ever thought to use language.
Rumi
Nothing can help me but that beauty. There was a dawn I remember when my soul heard something from your soul. I drank water from your spring and felt the current take me.
Rumi
Allah made the illusion look real and the real an illusion. He concealed the sea and made the foam visible, the wind invisible, and the dust manifest. you see the dust whirling, but how can the dust rise by itself? you see the foam, but not the ocean. invoke Him with deeds, not words for deeds are real and will save you in the infinite-life.
Rumi
If God said, 'Rumi pay homage to everything that has helped you enter my arms,' there would not be one experience of my life, not one thought, not one feeling, nor any act, I would not bow to.
Rumi
Tender words we spoke to one another are sealed in the secret vaults of heaven. One day like rain, they will fall to earth and grow green all over the world.
Rumi
Be motivated like the falcon, hunt gloriously. Be magnificent as the leopard, fight to win. Spend less time with nightingales and peacocks. One is all talk, the other only color.
Rumi
War, like children's fights, are meaningless, pitiless, and contemptible.
Rumi
Such a strong thing LOVE, changes everything.
Rumi
We can't help being thirsty, moving toward the voice of water. Milk drinkers draw close to the mother. Muslims, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, shamans, everyone hears the intelligent sound and moves with thirst to meet it.
Rumi
Love is the reality, and poetry is the drum.
Rumi
My lips got lost on the way to the kiss - that's how drunk I was.
Rumi
O Beloved, where is the Beloved?
Rumi
That which is false troubles the heart, but truth brings joyous tranquility.
Rumi
Stop searching here and there, the jewels are inside YOU.
Rumi
Stay in the spiritual fire. Let it cook you.
Rumi
You have been a prisoner of a little pond I am the ocean and its turbulent flood Come merge with me leave this world of ignorance
Rumi
Let your throat-song be clear and strong enough to make an emperor fall full-length suppliant, at the door.
Rumi
Our death is our wedding with eternity.
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
