More quotes by Rumi

"Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself."
"You were born with wings, why prefer to crawl through life?"
"This being human is a guest house. Every morning is a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor...Welcome and entertain them all. Treat each guest honorably. The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in. Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond."
"If in thirst you drink water from a cup, you see God in it. Those who are not in love with God will see only their own faces in it."
"Be a lamp, or a lifeboat, or a ladder. Help someone's soul heal. Walk out of your house like a shepherd."
