More Quotes By Rumi

However much I might try to expound or explain Love, when I come to Love itself, I am ashamed of my explanations... Love alone can explain the mysteries of love and lovers.
Rumi
You've come to know the fortunate and the inauspicious stars, but you don't know whether you yourself are fortunate or lucky.
Rumi
The way the Beloved can fit in my heart, two thousand lives could fit in this body of mine. One kernel could contain a thousand bushels, and a hundred worlds pass through the eye of the needle.
Rumi
The gifts of lovers to one another are, in respect to love, nothing but forms; yet, they testify to invisible love.
Rumi

Rumi

Rumi
When someone beats a rug, the blows are not against the rug, but against the dust in it.
Rumi

Rumi
The moment I first heard love I gave up my soul, my heart, and my eyes.
Rumi
That which God said to the rose, and caused it to laugh in full-blown beauty, He said to my heart, and made it a hundred times more beautiful.
Rumi
Sunlight fell upon the wall; the wall received a borrowed splendor. Why set your heart on a piece of earth, O simple one? Seek out the source which shines forever.
Rumi
Something opens our wings. Something makes boredom and hurt disappear. Someone fills the cup in front of us: We taste only sacredness.
Rumi
