The quieter you become, you more you are able to hear.
If all you can do is crawl, start crawling.
The pains you feel are messengers. Listen to them.
Raise your words, not your voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.
Why should I be unhappy? Every parcel of my being is in full bloom.
Be like a tree and let the dead leaves drop.
Beauty surrounds us, but usually we need to be walking in a garden to know it.
Your depression is connected to your insolence and refusal to praise.
The minute I heard my first love story I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere. They’re in each other all along.
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I’ll meet you there.
I am neither of the East nor of the West, no boundaries exist within my breast.
Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere. They’re in each other all along.
You show your worth by what you seek! – Rumi
If you want the moon, do not hide from the night. If you want a rose, do not hide from the thorns. If you want love, do not hide from yourself.
Although the road is never ending, take a step and keep walking, do not look fearfully into the distance…on the path let the heart be your guide for the body is hesitant and full of fear.
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.
Be a lamp, a lifeboat, a ladder. Help someone’s soul heal. Walk out of your house like a shepherd.
Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.
That which is false troubles the heart, but truth brings joyous tranquility.
If people misunderstand you, do not worry…it is your voice that they hear, but what goes through their mind is…their own thoughts.
Everyone has been made for some particular work, and the desire for that work has been put in every heart.
