Rumi

You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.

Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.

Do not be satisfied with the story that comes before you. Unfold your own myth.

The wound is the place where the Light enters you.

Let silence take you to the core of life.

In the garden of my soul, I see roses blooming — that is the mark you left upon my heart.

You were born with wings, why prefer to crawl through life?

Don't stand at the edge of the water and gaze. Step into the river.

When you let go of who you think you are, you become the sky itself.

Don't grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I'll meet you there.

I found a door within my heart — and through it, only endless mercy.

The pain you feel is a messenger. Listen to what it says.

Die, then, in love — and the soul will be set free.
