More quotes by Rumi
Intellect in its effort to explain Love got stuck in the mud like an ass. Love alone could explain love and loving.
Rumi
Love risks everything and asks for nothing.
Rumi
I will find new meaning in every joy and sorrow.
Rumi
Load the ship and set out. No one knows for certain whether the vessel will sink or reach the harbor. Cautious people say, 'I'll do nothing until I can be sure.' Merchants know better. If you do nothing, you lose. Don't be one of those merchants who wont risk the ocean.
Rumi
Two there are who are never satisfied -- the lover of the world and the lover of knowledge.
Rumi
I went inside my heart to see how it was. Something there makes me hear the whole world weeping.
Rumi
Work on your stony qualities and become resplendent like the ruby. Practice self-denial and accept difficulty. Always see infinite life in letting the self die. Your stoniness will decrease your ruby nature will grow. The signs of self-existence will leave your body, and ecstasy will take you over.
Rumi
I should be suspicious of what I want.
Rumi
Come, even if you have broken your vow one thousand times, come, yet again, come, come.
Rumi
Behead yourself!... Dissolve your whole body into Vision: become seeing, seeing, seeing!
Rumi
This is what love does and continues to do. It tastes like honey to adults and milk to children.
Rumi
Ways of worshipping are not to be ranked as better or worse than one another . . . It's all praise, and it's all right.
Rumi
I cannot stop asking. If I could taste one sip of an answer, I could break out of this prison for drunks.
Rumi
Be patient, even if every possibility seems closed.
Rumi
You are not one you are a Thousand. Just Light your Lantern.
Rumi
Never lose hope, my heart, miracles dwell in the invisible. If the whole world turns against you keep your eyes on the Friend.
Rumi
He whose intellect overcomes his lust is higher than the angels he whose lust overcomes his intelligence is less than an animal.
Rumi
Water in the boat is the ruin of the boat, but water under the boat is its support.
Rumi
Love is an open secret, the most obvious thing in the world and the most hidden, with no why to how it keeps its mystery.
Rumi
You are the soul of the soul of the universe, and your name is Love.
Rumi
