Everything that is made beautiful and fair and lovely is made for the eye of one who sees.
— Rumi

Beauty surrounds us, but usually we need to be walking in a garden to know it.
— Rumi

The moment I first heard love I gave up my soul, my heart, and my eyes.
— Rumi

Wear gratitude like a cloak and it will feed every corner of your life.
— Rumi

Poems reach up like spindrift and the edge of driftwood along the beach, wanting!
— Rumi

Very little grows on jagged rock. Be ground. Be crumbled, so wildflowers will come up where you are.
— Rumi

You were born with wings, why prefer to crawl through life?
— Rumi

This is how I would die into the love I have for you: as pieces of cloud dissolve in sunlight.
— Rumi

Now is the time to unite the soul and the world. Now is the time to see the sunlight dancing as one with the shadows.
— Rumi

I want your sun to reach my raindrops, so your heat can raise my soul upward like a cloud.
— Rumi
