If you don't try to fly and so break yourself apart, you will be broken open by death, when it's too late for all you could become.
RumiNever lose hope, my heart, miracles dwell in the invisible. If the whole world turns against you keep your eyes on the Friend.
RumiLet Go of Your Worries Let go of your worries and be completely clear-hearted, like the face of a mirror that contains no images. If you want a clear mirror, behold yourself and see the shameless truth, which the mirror reflects. If metal can be polished to a mirror-like finish, what polishing might the mirror of the heart require? Between the mirror and the heart is this single difference: the heart conceals secrets, while the mirror does not.
Rumi
