There is a city in which you find everything you desire-handsome people, pleasures, ornaments of every kind-all that the natural person craves. However, you cannot find a single wise person there.

More quotes by Rumi
I should sell my tongue and buy a thousand ears when that One steps near and begins to speak.
Rumi
Love Came.... and became like blood in my body. It rushed through my veins and encircled my Heart. Everywhere I looked, I saw One Thing.... Love's Name written on my limbs, on my left palm, on my forehead, on the back of my neck, on my right big toe... Oh, my friend, all that you see of me is just a shell, and the rest belongs to Love.
Rumi
Friendship of the wise is good a wise enemy is better than a foolish friend.
Rumi
I've said before that every craftsman searches for what's not there to practice his craft.
Rumi
True beauty is a ray That springs from the sacred depths of the soul, and illuminates the body, just as life springs from the kernel of a stone and gives colour and scent to a flower.
Rumi
I want a heart which is split, part by part, because of the pain of separation from God, so that I might explain my longing and complaint to it.
Rumi
Keep silence, be mute. If you have not yet become the tongue of GOD, be an ear!
Rumi
Love is such a vast sea, it has neither edges nor ends nor corners.
Rumi
God does not look at your outer forms, but at the love within your love.
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
If you want money more than anything, you'll be bought and sold. If you have a greed for food, you'll be a loaf of bread. This is a subtle truth: Whatever you love, you are.
Rumi
Last night I learned how to be a lover of God. To live in this world and call nothing my own.
Rumi
Your kindness cannot be said. You open doors in the sky. You ease the heart and make God's qualities visible.
Rumi
There is no Love greater than Love with no object. For then you, yourself, have become love, itself.
Rumi
At night, I open the window and ask the moon to come and press its face against mine. Breathe into me. Close the language-door and open the love-window. The moon won't use the door, only the window.
Rumi
There is some kiss we want with the whole of our lives.
Rumi
You are the soul of the soul of the universe, and your name is Love.
Rumi
This poetry. I never know what I'm going to say.
Rumi
Tonight the moon kisses the stars. O beloved,be like that to me!
Rumi
In Silence there is eloquence.
Rumi
