Jalal-Ad-Din-Rumi was not just a Persian Poet. He has been the most popular poet in the Persian language, and the one whose works have inspired even the Turkish and Arabic literature. This 13th century Persian Poet has captured life in his verses with such a beauty that they will give you bliss and heartbreak at the same time.

Here are my favorite Rumi quotes:
• In each moment the fire rages, it will burn away a hundred veils. And carry you a thousand steps toward your goal.
Have you ever felt this optimistic?
• What is planted in each person’s soul will sprout.
Yes, Rumi was a philosopher in his own right. Read this philosophy of him,
• Achieve some perfection yourself, so that you may not fall into sorrow by seeing the perfection in others.
And he was a teacher too, teaching us the way of love
• Close your eyes, fall in love, stay there.
Rumi taught us self-love too.
• The universe is not outside of you. Look inside yourself; everything that you want, you already are.
