Rumi

Indeed envy is a defect; worse than any other.

Rumi

It may be that the satisfaction I need depends on my going away, so that when I’ve gone and come back, I’ll find it at home.

Rumi

Its good to leave each day behind, like flowing water, free of sadness. Yesterday is gone and its tale told. Today new seeds are growing.

Rumi

Journeys bring power and love back into you. If you can’t go somewhere, move in the passageways of the self. They are like shafts of light, always changing, and you change when you explore them.

Rumi

Just as the heart becomes carefree in a place of green, growing plants, goodwill and kindness are born when our souls enter happiness.

Rumi

Keep walking, though there’s no place to get to. Don’t try to see through the distances. That’s not for human beings. Move within, But don’t move the way fear makes you move.

Rumi

Know mankind well, don’t degrade every man as evil, and don’t exalt every man thinking he is good. He who cannot discover himself; cannot discover the world.

Rumi

Know that a word suddenly shot from the tongue is like an arrow shot from the bow. Son, that arrow won’t turn back on its way; you must damn the torrent at its source.

Rumi

Last night my teacher taught me the lesson of Poverty: Having nothing and wanting nothing.

Rumi

Let silence take you to the core of life.
