"Would you become a pilgrim on the..." - Quote by Rumi

“There is a voice that doesn’t use words. Listen.”

“No longer a stranger, you listen all day to these crazy love-words. Like a bee you fill hundreds of homes with honey, though yours is a long flight from here.”

“If all you can do is crawl, start crawling.”

“I had a dog who loved flowers. Briskly she went through the fields, yet paused for the honeysuckle or the rose, her dark head and her wet nose touching the face of every one with its petals of silk with its fragrance rising into the air where the bees, their bodies heavy with pollen hovered - and easily she adored every blossom not in the serious careful way that we choose this blossom or that blossom the way we praise or don't praise - the way we love or don't love - but the way we long to be - that happy in the heaven of earth - that wild, that loving.”

“Love yourself. Then forget it. Then, love the world.”

“Love takes up where knowledge leaves off.”

“For the good, when praised, feel something of disgust, if to excess commended.”

“Whereas I formerly believed it to be my bounden duty to call other persons to order, I now admit that I need calling to order myself.”

“The higher our position the more modestly we should behave.”
