Top 15 Rumi Quotes

and rightdoing there is a field.
I'll meet you there.

the world is too full to talk about.

I started looking for you, not knowing
how blind that was.
Lovers don't finally meet somewhere.
They're in each other all along.

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

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.

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

Knock, And He'll open the door
Vanish, And He'll make you shine like the sun
Fall, And He'll raise you to the heavens
Become nothing, And He'll turn you into everything.

When I am with you, we stay up all night.
When you're not here, I can't go to sleep.
Praise God for those two insomnias!
And the difference between them.

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