Wisdom Quote by Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“You are the Truth from foot to brow. Now, what else would you like to know?”

“There came one and knocked at the door of the Beloved.”

“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.”

“Love comes with a knife, not some shy question, and not with fears for its reputation!”

““I was dead, then alive.”

“The truth was a mirror in the hands of God. It fell, and broke into pieces. Everybody took a piece of it, and they looked at it and thought they had the truth.”

“When you lose your ego, you win. It really is that simple.”

“By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.”

“The first step toward wisdom is accepting that everyone is human even the people who pretend they aren’t.”

“A virtuos woman is not moved by big names and flamboyance, but only men of profound wisdom and integrity move her.”

“It is only the brave who win life’s rewards. Those who don’t overcome their fears are destined to fail at even the least things.”

“One way to define wisdom is the ability to see, into the future, the consequences of your choices in the present. That ability can give you a completely different perspective on what the future might look like.”
