When I am silent, I have thunder hidden inside.
Rumi
Profession: Poet Nationality: Persian
The minute I heard my first love story I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along.
I lost my hat while gazing at the moon, and then I lost my mind.
As you live Deeper in the Heart, the Mirror gets clearer and cleaner.
Let your teacher be love itself.
Where there is ruin, there is hope for a treasure.
Run from what's comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious. I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now on I'll be mad.
Don't complain about autumn. Walk with grief like a good friend. Listen to what he says. Sometimes the cold and dark of a cave give the opening we most want.
Make it your habit to behold the Light without the glass, so that when the glass is shattered you may not be left blind.
This is a subtle truth. Whatever you love, you are.
For once Mohammad firmly clarified: Trust God, but still make sure your camel's tied! God loves the one who earns, so I urge you: Trust God but don't forget you must act too!
Love flows down. The ground submits to the sky and suffers what comes. Is the ground worse for giving in like that? Do not put blankets over the drum. Open completely. Let your spirit ear listen to the green dome's passionate murmur.
Love is the water of life, jump into this water.
Where the lips are silent the heart has a thousand tongues.
Patience is not sitting and waiting, it is foreseeing. It is looking at the thorn and seeing the rose, looking at the night and seeing the day. Lovers are patient and know that the moon needs time to become full.
