Rumi

"Everyone has been made for some particular work, and the desire for that work has been put in every heart."

"Grief can be the garden of compassion. If you keep your heart open through everything, your pain can become your greatest ally in your life's search for love and wisdom."

"However much I might try to expound or explain Love, when I come to Love itself, I am ashamed of my explanations... Love alone can explain the mysteries of love and lovers."

"I have no companion but Love, no beginning, no end, no dawn. The Soul calls from within me: 'You, ignorant of the way of Love, set Me free.'"

"Love will find its way through all languages on its own."

"May these vows and this marriage be blessed."

"May this marriage be full of laughter, our every day in paradise."

"The garden of love is green without limit and yields many fruits other than sorrow or joy. Love is beyond either condition: without spring, without autumn, it is always fresh."

"The gifts of lovers to one another are, in respect to love, nothing but forms; yet, they testify to invisible love."

"The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along."

"The moment I first heard love I gave up my soul, my heart, and my eyes."

"There is an invisible strength within us; when it recognizes two opposing objects of desire, it grows stronger."

"This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet."

"Through Love all that is bitter will be sweet, Through Love all that is copper will be gold, Through Love all dregs will become wine, through Love all pain will turn to medicine."

"We are born of love; Love is our mother."

"You left and I cried tears of blood. My sorrow grows. Its not just that You left. But when You left my eyes went with You. Now, how will I cry?"

"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."
