"What does this patch-sewing mean you ask?..." - Quote by Rumi

“One drop of that ocean is Hope, and the rest is fear.”

“This poetry. I never know what I'm going to say. I don't plan it. When I'm outside the saying of it, I get very quiet and rarely speak at all.”

“The source is within you. And this whole world is springing up from it.”

“There is goodness as well as greatness in simplicity, not in wealth.”

“Strange that so few ever come to the woods to see how the pine lives and grows and spires, lifting its evergreen arms to the light,--to see its perfect success; but most are content to behold it in the shape of many broad boards brought to market, and deem that its true success! But the pine is no more lumber than man is, and to be made into boards and houses is no more its true and highest use than the truest use of a man is to be cut down and made into manure.”

“Now, nothing should be able to harm a man except himself. Nothing should be able to rob a man at all. What a man really has, is what is in him. What is outside of him should be a matter of no importance.”

“Sex and sleep alone make me conscious that I am mortal.”

“I sing the body that is electric! I celebrate the Self yet to be unveiled!”

“My countrymen should have nerves of steel, muscles of iron, and minds like thunderbolt.”
