Rumi
The world is a mirror, an imaging of Love's perfection.
Rumi

Rumi
Thinking gives off smoke to prove the existence of fire. A mystic sits inside the burning. There are wonderful shapes in rising smoke that imagination loves to watch. But it's a mistake to leave the fire for that filmy sight. Stay here at the flame's core.
Rumi
If you wish to be a mine of jewels, open the deep ocean within your heart.
Rumi
If in the darkness of ignorance, you don’t recognize a person’s true nature, look to see whom he has chosen for his leader.
Rumi
My sight My heart My Life All three words I have woven into one ... Love.
Rumi
Be like a river in generosity and giving help. Be like a sun in tenderness and pity. Be like night when covering other's faults. Be like a dead when furious and angry. Be like earth in modesty and humbleness. Be like a sea in tolerance. Be as you are or as you look like.
Rumi
I will be waiting here.... For your silence to break, For your soul to shake, For your love to wake!
Rumi
Water, stories, the body, all the things we do, are mediums that hid and show what's hidden.
Rumi
Hungry, you're a dog, angry and bad-natured. having eaten your fill, you become a carcass you lie down like a wall, senseless. At one time a dog, at another time a carcass, how will you run with lions, or follow the saints?
Rumi
Disharmony prevails when you confuse Lust with LOVE, while the distance between the two is endless!
Rumi
If you dig a pit for others to fall into, you will fall into it yourself.
Rumi
Sometimes we plan a trip to one place, but something takes us to another
Rumi
I was there in the beginning and I was the spirit of love.
Rumi
To a frog that's never left his pond, the ocean seems like a gamble. Look what he's giving up: security, mastery of his world, recognition! The ocean frog just shakes his head. I can't explain where I live, but someday I'll take you there.
Rumi
