You are the fountain of the sun. I'm the shadow of a willow. You fall upon my forehead. I melt. You slip into my heart. It spills open. You surround me with such sweetness. I make it my home.

More quotes by Rumi
We bury our seeds and wait, Winter blocks the road, Flowers are taken prisoner underground, But then green justice tenders a spear
Rumi
Walk patiently through this troubled world, and you will find great treasure. Even though your house may be small, look within it!
Rumi
Gamble everything for love, if you are a true human being. If not, leave this gathering. Half-heartedness doesn’t reach into majesty.
Rumi
If you don't try to fly and so break yourself apart, you will be broken open by death, when it's too late for all you could become.
Rumi
Break your pitcher against a rock. We don't need any longer to haul pieces of the ocean around.
Rumi
Don't look for me in a human shape, I am inside your looking.
Rumi
Know then that the body is merely a garment. Go seek the wearer, not the cloak.
Rumi
There is another language beyond language, another place beyond heaven and hell. Precious gems come from another mine, the heart draws light from another source.
Rumi
Where the lips are silent the heart has a thousand tongues.
Rumi
Lovers find secret places inside this violent world where they make transactions with beauty.
Rumi
I said, O Love, tell me this: Does the Lord know you are treating me this way? Love said to me, yes He does, just be totally… totally… silent
Rumi
When you see anyone complaining of such and such a person's ill-nature and bad temper, know that the complainant is bad-tempered, forasmuch as he speaks ill of that bad-tempered person, because he alone is good-tempered who is quietly forbearing towards the bad-tempered and ill-natured.
Rumi
You do not see clearly the evil in yourself, else you would hate yourself with all your soul. Like the lion who sprang at his image in the water, you are only hurting yourself, O foolish man. When you reach the bottom of the well of your own nature, then you will know that the vileness was from yourself.
Rumi
O, Great Spirit, open my eyes, open heart's wings, open my ears to your voice in all things.
Rumi
Why are you so enchanted by this world, when a mine of gold lies within you?
Rumi
This is a subtle truth. Whatever you love, you are.
Rumi
Oh, wandering One, if you are in search of the greatest treasure, don't look outside. Look within, and seek That.
Rumi
Love is the house of God and you are living in that house.
Rumi
I see my beauty in you.
Rumi
Fasting is the first principle of medicine fast and see the strength of the spirit reveal itself.
Rumi
