More quotes by 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
I am weary of personal worrying, in love with the art of madness.
Rumi
Whenever Beauty looks, Love is also there.
Rumi
I am in the House of Mercy, and my heart is a place of prayer.
Rumi
Fish love the ocean. Snakes move like earth-fish inside a mountain,well away from seawater. Certain sunfish,though,turn snakes into ocean lovers.
Rumi
Remember. The way you make love is the way God will be with you.
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
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I'll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass the world is too full to talk about.
Rumi
Let the Beloved be a hat pulled down firmly on my head.
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
A SEEING eye is better than three hundred blind men's: The eye can distinguish pearls from pebbles.
Rumi
You live in my heart where no one sees you but I do. That vision becomes this art.
Rumi
Sometimes we plan a trip to one place, but something takes us to another
Rumi
I came to this earth so that I could find my way back to my Beloved.
Rumi
Grief can be the garden of compassion. If you keep your heart open through everything, your pain can become your greatest ally in your life's search for love and wisdom.
Rumi
Don't try to steer the boat. Don't open shop for yourself. Listen. Keep silent. You are not God's mouthpiece. Try to be an ear, And if you do speak, ask for explanations.
Rumi
Turning toward what you deeply love saves you
Rumi
You have mourned over others now sit down for a while and weep over your own self.
Rumi
Leave that which is not, but appears to be. Seek that which is, but is not apparent.
Rumi
You think the shadow is the substance.
Rumi
