Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment… – Rumi, translated by Edward Henry Whinfield

What I most want is to spring out of this personality, then to sit apart from that leaping. I’ve lived too long where I can be reached. – Rumi

There is a fountain inside you. Don’t walk around with an empty bucket. – Rumi

All religions, all this singing, one song. The differences are just illusion and vanity. The sun’s light looks a little different on this wall than it does on that wall, and a lot different on this other one, but it’s still one light. – Rumi
