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.

More quotes by Rumi
Where you are, whatever your condition is Always try to be a lover.
Rumi
Be a spot of ground where nothing is growing, where something might be planted, a seed, possibly, from the Absolute.
Rumi
The world's flattery and hypocrisy is a sweet morsel: eat less of it, for it is full of fire. Its fire is hidden while its taste is manifest, but its smoke becomes visible in the end.
Rumi
Why set your heart on a piece ofearth,seek out the source which shines forever.
Rumi
Daylight, full of small dancing particles. Can you see them when I whisper in your ear?
Rumi
Everyone sees the unseen in proportion to the clarity of his heart, and that depends upon how much he has polished it. Whoever has polished it more sees more - more unseen forms become manifest to him.
Rumi
Set your sights on a place higher than your eyes can see.
Rumi
If you are irritated by every rub, how will your mirror be polished?
Rumi
Know then that the body is merely a garment. Go seek the wearer, not the cloak.
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
All my feelings have the color you desire to paint.
Rumi
Happy is the moment we sit together, with two forms, with two faces, yet one soul. You and I.
Rumi
Feel the delight of walking in the noisy street and being the noise.
Rumi
War, like children's fights, are meaningless, pitiless, and contemptible.
Rumi
Light the incense! You have to burn to be fragrant.
Rumi
Flattery's fire is hidden. Its sweet taste is apparent, but the smoke is bound to come out at last.
Rumi
Don't be fooled by my beauty - the light of my face comes from the candle of my spirit.
Rumi
Many prayers are declined because of the rank odor of a corrupt heart, rising through the beautiful words. Let the words be wrong but the meaning right. . . . That flawed utterance is dearer to God!
Rumi
One day you will take me completely out of myself, I'll do what the angels cannot do. Your eyelash will write on my cheek the poem that hasn't been thought of.
Rumi
The mirror of the heart must be clear, so you can discern the ugly from the beautiful.
Rumi
