(Some are from Rumi Quotes on Twitter. Some from other sources)

Work in the invisible word at least as hard as you do in the visible one
*
And just the moment when you are all confused leaps forth a voice 'Hold me close
I'm love and I'm always yours.'
*
And still after all this time, the sun has never said to the earth 'You owe me'. Look what happens with love like that'.

*
And you. When will your begin your long journey into your Self?

*
As you start to walk out on the way, the way appears

*
Be like melting snow. Wash your self of yourself.

*
Do not be sad for God sends hope in the darkest moments. The heaviest rain comes from the darkest clouds.

*
Do not feel lonely. The entire universe is inside you.

*
Don't put another cup of wine in my hand, pour it ...for I have forgotten the way to my mouth.

*
Don't tell me that infidels are lost. Alas, my brother, you are lost.

*
Don't you know yet. It is your light that lights the world.

*
Don't' grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.  

*
Each moment contains 100 messages from God. To every cry of "oh God"

He answers 100 times "I am here."

*

Each night the moon kisses secretly the lover who counts the stars.

*

Everyone has been made for some particular work.

The Desire for that work has been placed in every heart

*
Everything in the universe is within you. Ask all from yoruself.  

*
For one moment quit being sad. Listen to blessings dropping their

blossoms around you.

*
Go find yourself first. So you can also find me.

*
I am a grain of salt, dissolved in the Sea of Love

*
I am yours. Don't give myself back to me.

*
I belong to no religion. My religion is love. Every heart is its temple.

*
I closed my mouth and spoke to you in a hundred silent ways.

*
I died as a mineral and became a plant, I died as plant and rose to animal.
I died as animal and I was Man. Why should I fear? When was I less by dying?

*
I once had a thousand desires, but in my one desire to know you all else melted away.

*
I was dead, then alive. The power of love came into me and I became fierce like the lion, then tender like the evening star.

*
I will whisper secrets in your ear. Just nod yes and be silent.

*
If all you can do is crawl, start crawling.

If light is in your heart you will find your way home.

If your beloved has the life of a fire step in now and burn along.

In every religion there is love, but love has no religion.

In fact, my soul and yours are the same, You appear in me, I in you,

We hide in each other. It lights up the sky.  

Keep knocking and the joy inside will eventually open a window and

look out to see who's there.

Let the beauty we love be what we do.

Let the waters settle and you will see the moon

and the stars mirrored in your own being.

Let yourself be drawn by the stronger pull of what you really love.

Live life as if everything is rigged in your favor.

Look for the answer inside your question.

Love is the bridge between you and everything.

Love is the religion, and the Universe is the book.

Love rests on no foundation. It is an endless ocean, with no

beginning or end.

Love risks everything and asks for nothing

Love so needs to love, that it will endure almost anything,

even abuse, just to flicker for a moment.

Love turns thorns into blooms

Lovers are patient and know that the moon needs time to become full.

Lovers don't finally meet. They're in each other all along

. 
Maybe you are searching among the branches,

for what can be found only in the roots

My heart, so precious, I won't trade for a hundred thousand souls,

yet your one smile takes it for free.

My place is the placeless, my trace is the traceless.

It is not the body, nor is it the soul,for I belong to the Soul of my LOVE!

My soul is from elsewhere. I am sure of that. And I intend to end up there.

Never lose hope, my dear heart. Miracles dwell in the invisible.

Observe the wonders as they occur around you. Don't claim them.

Feel the artistry moving through and be silent.

Only from the heart can you touch the sky.

Open your hands if you want to be held.

Out beyond ideas of right and wrong there is a field.

It is there I shall meet you.

Patience is not sitting and waiting, it is foreseeing. It is looking at the

thorn and seeing the rose, looking at the night and seeing the day.

Raise your words, not your voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder

.
Science and theology would be just whims of the wind if you

knew full surrender.

Seek the wisdom that unties the knot. Seek the path that

demands your whole being.

Set your life on fire. Seek those who fan your flames.

Shine like the whole universe is yours.

Silence is an ocean. Speech is a river.

Silence is the language of God. All else is poor translation.

Stop speaking and let Spirit speak through you.

Stop the words now. Open the window in the center of

your chest and let the spirits fly in and out.

The cure for pain is in the pain.

The moon stays bright when it doesn’t avoid the night.

The religion of love is different from all other religions.

For true lovers of love, God is the only religion

The rose does not care if someone calls it a rose or a jasmine

The soul has its own ears when the mind blocks truth

The spirit advances as the lover retreats. The shining, fresh-faced

moon eclipses with the cloaking sun

The wound is the place where the Light enters you.

There is a place where voices sing your beauty,

A place where every breath  carves your image in my soul.

There is a voice that doesn't use words. Listen

Thirst drove me down to the water where I drank the moon's reflection.

Through love all pain will turn to medicine.

Through love, burning fire is pleasing light

Through your loving, existence and non-existence merge.

All opposites unite. All that is profane becomes sacred again.

Very little grows on jagged rock. Be ground. Be crumbled,

so that wildflowers will come up where you are.

We rarely hear the inner music. Nevertheless, we're all dancing to it.

What was whispered to the rose to break it open Last night

Was whispered to my heart.

What you seek is seeking you.

When a bird becomes free he does not go back for remnants in the cage

When I am silent I fall into the place where everything is music.

When inward tenderness finds the secret hurt, pain itself will

crack the rock and AH! let the soul emerge.

When setting out on a journey do not seek advice from those who

have never left home.

When the soul lies down in that grass the world is too full to talk about.

With life as short as a halftaken breath, plant nothing but love.

Yesterday I was clever so I wanted to change the world.

Today I am wise so I am changing myself.

You are looking for God. That is the problem.

The God in you is the one who is looking.

You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.

You are that which you seek.

You are the master alchemist. You light the fire of love in Earth

and Sky, in heart and soul of every being.

You become like the 5 people you spend the most time with.

Choose carefully.

You bewilder us with your grace, all evils transformed into goodness.

You have to keep breaking your heart until it opens.

You were born with wings. Why prefer to crawl through life?

Your body is away from me. But there is a window

open from my heart to yours. From this window, like the moon.

I keep sending news secretly.

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the

barriers within yourself that you have built against it.
