Rumi

Dance, when you're broken open. Dance, if you've torn the bandage off. Dance in the middle of the fighting. Dance in your blood. Dance when you're perfectly free.

Gamble everything for love, if you're a true human being.

Where there is ruin, there is hope for a treasure.

If you are irritated by every rub, how will your mirror be polished?

This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet.

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field.I'll meet you there.When the soul lies down in that grassthe world is too full to talk about.

Suffering is a gift. In it is hidden mercy.

That which God said to the rose, and caused it to laugh in full-blown beauty, He said to my heart, and made it a hundred times more beautiful.

You were born with potential. You were born with goodness and trust. You were born with ideals and dreams. You were born with greatness. You were born with wings. You are not meant for crawling, so don't. You have wings. Learn to use them and fly.

Let yourself be drawn by the stronger pull of that which you truly love.

Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes. Because for those who love with heart and soul there is no such thing as separation.

We come spinning out of nothingness, scattering stars like dust.

I know you're tired but come, this is the way.

Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment.

Soul, if you want to learn secrets,?your heart must forget about shame? and dignity. You are God's lover,?yet you worry what people are saying.

I didn't come here of my own accord, and I can't leave that way.Whoever brought me here will have to take me home.

There is a secret medicine given only to those who hurt so hard they can't hope.The hopers would feel slighted if they knew.

Start a huge, foolish project, like Noah…it makes absolutely no difference what people think of you.
