Rumi (1207-1273) was a Sufi mystic and poet below are a few of his thoughts:

“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.”

“Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.”

“Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.”

“Don’t grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.”

“You were born with wings, why prefer to crawl through life?”
