More quotes by Rumi
Come, seek, for search is the foundation of fortune:
Every success depends upon focusing the heart.
The lion who breaks the enemy's ranks is a minor hero compared to the lion who overcomes himself.
The branch might seem like the fruit's origin:
In fact, the branch exists because of the fruit.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
