Rumi Quotes

The wound is the place where the Light enters you.

You were born with potential.
You were born with goodness and trust. You were born with ideals and dreams. You were born with greatness.
You were born with wings.
You are not meant for crawling, so don't.
You have wings.
Learn to use them and fly.

A little mixed-breed apple,

We seem to be two, but we are not.

Without shoes or shawl
I want you to laugh
To kill all your worries
To love you
To nourish you.

of such and such a person's ill-nature and bad temper,

forasmuch as he speaks ill of that bad-tempered person,
because he alone is good-tempered who is quietly forbearing
towards the bad-tempered and ill-natured.

تا در هوس لقمهٔ نانی نانی

"I'm in love!
Your advice, what are they?
Love has poisoned me!
Your remedies, what are they?

But if my heart that has gone mad!
Those strings on my feet
What is the point?"
