When inward tenderness finds the secret hurt, pain itself will crack the rock and Ah! Let the soul emerge.
RumiOn the path of Love we are neither masters nor the owners of our lives. We are only a brush in the hand of the Master Painter.
RumiWhen you see anyone complaining of such and such a person's ill-nature and bad temper, know that the complainant is bad-tempered, forasmuch as he speaks ill of that bad-tempered person, because he alone is good-tempered who is quietly forbearing towards the bad-tempered and ill-natured.
Rumi
