I was once like you, enlightened and rational, I too scoffed at lovers, Now I am drunk, crazed, thin with misery. No one is safe! Watch out.

More quotes by Rumi
My heart rushes into the garden, joyfully tasting all the delights. But reason frowns, disapproving of the heart's bad manners.
Rumi
You could string a hundred endless days together, My soul would find no comfort from this pain. You laugh at my tale? You may be educated But you haven’t learned to love till you’re insane
Rumi
Ignorance is God's prison. Knowing is God's palace
Rumi
Close your eyes, fall in Love, stay there.
Rumi
One day you will take me completely out of myself, I'll do what the angels cannot do. Your eyelash will write on my cheek the poem that hasn't been thought of.
Rumi
Stars burn clear all night till dawn. Do that yourself, and a spring will rise in the dark with water your deepest thirst is for.
Rumi
How can you ever hope to know the Beloved Without becoming in every cell the Lover?
Rumi
You are a fountain of the sun's light. I am a willow shadow on the ground. You make my raggedness silky.
Rumi
Wisdom is like the rain. Its source is limitless, but it comes down according to the season.
Rumi
Someone who goes with a half a loaf of bread to a small place that fits like a nest around him, someone who wants no more, who is not himself longed for by anyone else. He is a letter to everyone. You open it. It says, Live.
Rumi
Be patient, even if every possibility seems closed.
Rumi
From myself I am copper, through you, friend, I am gold. From myself I’m a stone, but through you, I am a gem!
Rumi
To live without you is to be robbed of love and what is life without it? To live without you is death to me, my love but some call it life.
Rumi
I should be suspicious of what I want.
Rumi
My soul is my guide, for my soul is of that abode. I will not speak of the earthly. I am of the unknown
Rumi
In Silence there is eloquence.
Rumi
The desire to know your own soul will end all other desires.
Rumi
Every need brings in what's needed. Pain bears its cure like a child.
Rumi
Your light is more magnificent than sunrise or sunset
Rumi
Fling me across the fabric of time and the seas of space. Make me nothing and from nothing-everything.
Rumi
