There’s a morning when presence comes over your soul. You sing like a rooster in your earth-colored shape. Your heart hears and, no longer frantic, begins to dance.
Rumi
-
Like a sculptor, if necessary, carve a friend out of stone. Realize that your inner sight is blind and try to see a treasure in everyone.
Rumi -
You must ask for what you really want. Don't go back to sleep. The door is round and open. Don't go back to sleep.
Rumi -
Hardship may dishearten at first, but every hardship passes away. All despair is followed by hope; all darkness is followed by sunshine.
Rumi -
Sadness to me is the happiest time, When a shining city rises from the ruins of my drunken mind. Those times when I'm silent and still as the earth, The thunder of my roar is heard across the universe.
Rumi -
Be motivated like the falcon, hunt gloriously. Be magnificent as the leopard, fight to win. Spend less time with nightingales and peacocks. One is all talk, the other only color.

If i can only recount the story of my life right out of my body flames will grow
Rumi

I will be waiting here.... For your silence to break, For your soul to shake, For your love to wake!

What sort of person says that he or she wants to be polished and pure, then complains about being handled roughly?
Rumi -
I came back to You because I could not find the kind and decent things I found in You anywhere else.
Rumi -
Knowledge that is acquired is not like this. Those who have it worry if audiences like it or not. It's a bait for popularity. Disputational knowing wants customers. It has no soul... The only real customer is God. Chew quietly your sweet sugarcane God-Love, and stay playfully childish.
Rumi
