"The soul which cannot endure fire and..." - Quote by Rumi

“He who tastes not, knows not.”

“My friend, the sufi is the friend of the present moment. To say tomorrow is not our way.”

“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.”

“The height of my goals will not hold me in awe, though I may stumble often before they are reached.”

“Let us sacrifice one day to gain perhaps a whole life.”

“To succeed, work hard, never give up and above all cherish a magnificent obsession.”

“it was like this. the brain could no longer bear the worries and pains that were imposed on it. it said: "i'm giving up; but if there is anyone else here who is interested in preserving the whole, let him assume part of my burden and it will be alright for a bit.”

“There is nothing softer and weaker than water, and yet there is nothing better for attacking hard and strong things.”

“In the world there is nothing more submissive and weak than water. Yet for attacking that which is hard and strong nothing can surpass it.”
