The best Quotes by Yunus Emre

Yunus Emre, also known as Derviş Yûnus (Yûnus the Dervish) (1238–1328) was a Turkish folk poet and Islamic Sufi mystic who greatly influenced the Turkish culture. He wrote in Old Anatolian Turkish.

A heart makes a good home for the friend.
When love arrives, all needs and flaws are gone.
Only the body dies, souls can never be slain.

To love the world is to be afflicted.
Knowledge means to know yourself, heart and soul.
If you have failed to understand yourself,
Then all of your reading has missed its call.
I am the drop that contains the ocean.
Whatever separates you from the Truth, throw it away, it will vanish anyhow.
Don't let me wander from Your love,
Don't let me leave Your door,
And if I lose myself,
Let me find myself with You.
