We carry inside us the wonders we seek outside us.
Don’t grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.
You show your worth by what you seek! – Rumi
Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere. They’re in each other all along.
Why should I be unhappy? Every parcel of my being is in full bloom.
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.
Beauty surrounds us, but usually we need to be walking in a garden to know it.
Raise your words, not your voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.
Your depression is connected to your insolence and refusal to praise.
Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.
Everything that is made beautiful and fair and lovely is made for the eye of one who sees.
The pains you feel are messengers. Listen to them.
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.
Woman is a ray of God. She is not that earthly beloved: she is creative, not created.
The wound is the place where the light enters you.
Be a lamp, a lifeboat, a ladder. Help someone’s soul heal. Walk out of your house like a shepherd.
If all you can do is crawl, start crawling.
When setting out on a journey, do not seek advice from those who have never left home.
Everyone has been made for some particular work, and the desire for that work has been put in every heart.
Be like a tree and let the dead leaves drop.
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.
