"Someone who does not run toward the..." - Quote by Rumi

“Everything you see has its roots in the unseen world. The forms may change, yet the essence remains the same. Every wonderful sight will vanish, every sweet word will fade, But do not be disheartened, The source they come from is eternal, growing, Branching out, giving new life and new joy. Why do you weep? The source is within you And this whole world is springing up from it.”

“There is a moon inside every human being. Learn to be companions with it.”

“Innumerable changes of moods are yours, and they are uncontrolled by you. If you knew their origin, you would be able to dominate them. If you cannot localize your own changes, how can you localize that which formed you?”

“One day you will ask me which is more important? My life or yours? I will say mine and you will walk away not knowing that you are my life.”

“We have before us the glorious opportunity to inject a new dimension of love into the veins of our civilization.”

“The man loves danger and sport. That is why he loves woman, the most dangerous of all sports.”

“A day for toil, an hour for sport, but for a friend is life too short.”

“The worst thing in the world is not to be born blind, but to be born with sight, and yet have no vision.”

“The same wind blows on us all; the winds of disaster, opportunity and change. Therefore, it is not the blowing of the wind, but the setting of the sails that will determine our direction in life.”
