Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.
– Rumi
Don't grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.
– Rumi
Everyone has been made for some particular work, and the desire for that work has been put in every heart.
– 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
Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.
– Rumi
Something opens our wings. Something makes boredom and hurt disappear. Someone fills the cup in front of us: We taste only sacredness.
– Rumi
The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you; Don't go back to sleep. You must ask for what you really want; Don't go back to sleep. People are going back and forth across the doorsill where the two worlds touch. The door is round and open. Don't go back to sleep.
– Rumi
This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet.
