Speak little, learn the words of eternity. Go beyond your tangled thoughts and find the splendor of paradise. -Rumi
Many prayers are declined because of the rank odor of a corrupt heart, rising through the beautiful words. Let the words be wrong but the meaning right. . . . That flawed utterance is dearer to God! -Rumi
Now be silent. Let the One who creates the words speak. He made the door. He made the lock. He also made the key. -Rumi
You and I have spoken all these words, but for the way we have to go,words are no preparation. I have one small drop of knowing in my soul. Let it dissolve in your ocean. -Rumi
