Inspirational Quotes by Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi — Words of Wisdom for Daily Success

“Peygamber dedi: 'Kadın akıllılara ve gönül sahiplerine tam galip gelir. Cahillerse kadına üstün olur, çünkü onlar sert ve serkeş davranır.' İncelik, letafet ve insaf onlarda az bulunur, çünkü tabiatlarında hayvanlık galiptir. Sevgi ve incelik, insanlık vasfıdır. Öfke ve şehvet, hayvanlık vasfıdır. O, Hakk'ın ışığıdır; sevgili değil. O, sanki yaratıcıdır; yaratılmış değildir.”

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.”
