Rumi

The real flex is living a soft life after surviving hard things.

— Rumi

Forgive yourself for not knowing earlier what only time could teach you.

— Rumi

The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear.

— Rumi

Wherever you are, and whatever you do, be in love.

— Rumi

Don’t grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.

— Rumi

Your assignment is you. Water you.

— Rumi

No more repeated cycles. It’s time to grow.

— Rumi

Take time like the river that never grows stale. Keep going and steady. No hurry, no rush.

— Rumi

Everyone has been made for some particular work, and the desire for that work has been put in every heart.

— Rumi

Silence is the language of god, all else is poor translation.

— Rumi

The older I get, the more I realize being in a hurry is a terrible way to live your life.

— Rumi

You are alive. You have a home. You have a bed. You have food. Be grateful.

— Rumi

This turning toward what you deeply love saves you.

— Rumi

Grief can be the garden of compassion. If you keep your heart open through everything, your pain can become your greatest ally in your life's search for love and wisdom.

— Rumi

Gratitude is the wine of the soul. Go on. Get drunk!

— Rumi

If it scares you and excites you at the same time, that's your gut telling you to go for it.

— Rumi

If it’s meant for you, it will find you again.

— Rumi

If I love myself I love you. If I love you I love myself.

— Rumi

Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.

— Rumi

Your goal is not to find love, but to remove all barriers which are preventing you from receiving it.

— Rumi

Everything you lost is coming back.

— Rumi

Stay healthy, get wealthy, seek truth, give love, and create beauty.

— Rumi

Maybe you are searching among the branches, for what only appears in the roots.

— Rumi

As you start to walk on the way, the way appears.

— Rumi

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.

— Rumi

Masnavi, Book V

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

— Rumi

The solution to anxiety is action.

— Rumi

The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you.

— Rumi

Before you speak, let your words pass through three gates: Is it true? Is it necessary? Is it kind?

— Rumi

Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.

— Rumi

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

— Rumi

Water has no effect on fake flowers. This changed my entire mindset about relationships.

— Rumi

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.

— Rumi

What you seek is seeking you.

— Rumi
