If you are irritated by every rub, how will you be polished? – Rumi

I am a drunkard from another kind of tavern. I dance to a silent tune. I am the symphony of stars. – Rumi

Half-heartedness doesn’t reach into majesty. You set out to find God, but then you keep stopping for long periods at mean-spirited roadhouses. – Rumi

If you could untie your wings and free your soul of jealousy, you and everyone around you would fly up like doves. – Rumi
