More quotes by Rumi
Be like the sun for grace and mercy. Be like the night to cover others' faults. Be like running water for generosity. Be like death for rage and anger. Be like the Earth for modesty. Appear as you are. Be as you appear.
Rumi
Whoever is sitting with friends is in the midst of a flower garden, though he may be in the fire. Whoever sits with an enemy is in the fire, even though he is in the midst of a garden.
Rumi
From the Distance You only See My Light Come closer and You will Know that I Am You.
Rumi
You are not meant for crawling, so don't. You have wings. Learn to use them and fly.
Rumi
Everything is soul and flowering.
Rumi
Darkness may hide the trees and the flowers from the eyes but it cannot hide love from the soul.
Rumi
I Wish I Could Give You A Taste Of The Burning Fire Of Love. There Is A Fire Blazing Inside Of Me. If I Cry About It, Or If I Don’t, The Fire Is At Work, Night And Day.
Rumi
What strikes the oyster shell doesn't damage the pearl.
Rumi
A Candle never Loses any of its Light while Lighting up another candle.
Rumi
Do good to the people for the sake of God or for the peace of your own soul that you may always see what is pure and save your Heart from the darkness of hate
Rumi
This world's existence is one night long. There's a great lively gathering that night, but some people sleep through it.
Rumi
Silence is an ocean. Speech is a river. When the ocean is searching for you, don't walk into the language-river. Listen to the ocean, and bring your talky business to an end. Traditional words are just babbling in that presence, and babbling is a substitute for sight.
Rumi
Daylight, full of small dancing particles and the one great turning, our souls are dancing with you, without feet, they dance. Can you see them when I whisper in your ear? All day and night, music, a quiet, bright reedsong. If it fades, we fade.
Rumi
Close your eyes, fall in Love, stay there.
Rumi
In Silence there is eloquence. Stop weaving and see how the pattern improves.
Rumi
What is planted in each person's soul will sprout.
Rumi
Wherever you are, and whatever you do, be in love.
Rumi
Be an empty page, untouched by words.
Rumi
This is what love does and continues to do. It tastes like honey to adults and milk to children.
Rumi
We are all the same ... all the same... longing to find our way back ... back to the One ... back to the Only One!
Rumi
