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
This is the essence of all sciences - that you should know who you will be when the Day of Reckoning arrives.
Rumi
What shall I say, O Muslims, I know not myself, I am neither a Christian, nor a Jew, nor a Zoroastrian, nor a Muslim.
Rumi
When someone beats a rug, the blows are not against the rug, but against the dust in it.
Rumi
It may be that the satisfaction I need depends on my going away, so that when I've gone and come back, I'll find it at home.
Rumi
Water, stories, the body, all the things we do, are mediums that hid and show what's hidden.
Rumi
The moment I first heard love I gave up my soul, my heart, and my eyes.
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
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
