Be empty of worrying.Think of who created thought!Why do you... - Rumi, The Essential Rumi

"You have forgotten the Onewho doesn't care about ownership,who doesn't try to turn a profitfrom every human exchange."

"You're water. We're the millstone.You're wind. We're dust blown up into shapes.You're spirit. We're the opening and closing of our hands. You're the clarity.We're the language that tries to say it.You're joy. We're all the different kinds of laughing."

"When you go through a hard period,When everything seems to oppose you,... When you feel you cannot even bear one more minute,NEVER GIVE UP!Because it is the time and place that the course will divert!"

"This poetry. I never know what I'm going to say.I don't plan it.When I'm outside the saying of it,I get very quiet and rarely speak at all."

"God turns you from one feeling to another and teaches by means of opposites so that you will have two wings to fly, not one"
