"Love is a tree; and lovers are..." - Quote by Rumi

“Move outside the tangle of fear-thinking. Live in silence.”

“Burdens are the foundations of ease and bitter things the forerunners of pleasure.”

“Be like a tree and let the dead leaves drop.”

“Men as a rule love with their eyes, woman with their ears.”

“Conquer the heart of the enemy with truth and love, not by violence.”

“Lovers think they are looking for each other, but there is only one search: wandering This world is wandering that, both inside one transparent sky. In here there is no dogma and no heresy.”

“What is the singing of birds, or any natural sound, compared with the voice of one we love.”

“Since an intelligence common to us all makes things known to us and formulates them in our minds, honorable actions are ascribed by us to virtue, and dishonorable actions to vice; and only a madman would conclude that these judgments are matters of opinion, and not fixed by nature.”

“The universal nature out of the universal substance, as if it were wax, now molds a horse, and when it has broken this up, it uses the material for a tree, then for a man, then for something else.”
