Rumi

“Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray.”

“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I'll meet you there.”

“Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.”

“Don't be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth.”

“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”

“Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.”

“Silence is the language of God, all else is poor translation.”

“Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along.”

“Be like the sun for grace and mercy. Be like the night to cover others' faults. Be like running water for generosity.”

“If you are irritated by every rub, how will your mirror be polished?”

“When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.”

“Set your life on fire. Seek those who fan your flames.”

“Where there is ruin, there is hope for a treasure.”

“Silence is the language of God; all else is poor translation.”

“In silence there is eloquence. Stop weaving and watch how the pattern emerges.”

“Love is the bridge between you and everything.”

“Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious.”

“You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.”

“The wound is the place where the Light enters you.”
