"I turn all thorn then, but you..." - Quote by Rumi

“You suppose you are the troubleBut you are the cureYou suppose that you are the lock on the doorBut you are the key that opens itIt's too bad that you want to be someone elseYou don't see your own face, your own beautyYet, no face is more beautiful than yours.”

“Try another way of looking. Try you looking and the whole universe seeing.”

“Who says the eternal being does not exist? Who says the sun has gone out? Someone who climbs up on the roof and closes his eyes tight, and says, I don't see anything.”

“Passion makes idiots of the cleverest men, and makes the biggest idiots clever.”

“Whenever there is negativity in you, if you can be aware in that moment that there is something in you that takes pleasure in it or believes it has a useful purpose, you are becoming aware of the ego directly. The moment this happens your identity has shifted from ego to awareness. This means the ego is shrinking and awareness is growing.”

“Brother, stand the pain. Escape the poison of your impulses. The sky will bow to your beauty, if you do. Learn to light the candle. Rise with the sun. Turn away from the cave of your sleeping. That way a thorn expands to a rose.”

“If you Don't have Love, Harmony & Peace within you, then you Can't Contribute these Qualities”

“Man is the end of nature; nothing so easily organizes itself in every part of the universe as he; no moss, no lichen is so easilyborn; and he takes along with him and puts out from himself the whole apparatus of society and condition extempore, as an army encamps in a desert, and where all was just now blowing sand, creates a white city in an hour, a government, a market, a place for feasting, for conversation, and for love.”

“I know a lady in Venice would have walked barefoot to Palestine for a touch of his nether lip”
