RUMI

Achieve some perfection yourself, so that you may not fall into sorrow by seeing the perfection in others.

Live life as if everything is rigged in your favor.

It’s your road, and yours alone, others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you

Seek the wisdom that will untie your knot. Seek the path that demands your whole being.

Be empty of worrying. Think of who created thought.

This is a subtle truth. Whatever you love you are.

The lion is most handsome when looking for food.

Set your life on fire. Seek those who fan your flames

Why do you stay in prison when the door is so wide open

Forget safety. Live where you fear to live.

Close your eyes, fall in love, stay there

What you seek is seeking you.

Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.
