More quotes by Bruce Lee

Image
Independent inquiry is needed in your search for truth, not dependence on anyone else's view or a mere book.
Bruce Lee
Image
Voidness is that which stands right in the middle between this and that. The void is all-inclusive, having no opposite--there is nothing which it excludes or opposes. It is living void, because all forms come out of it and whoever realizes the void is filled with life and power and the love of all beings.
Bruce Lee
Image
To know oneself is to study oneself in action with another person.
Bruce Lee
Image
People fear what they do not understand.
Bruce Lee
Image
The past is an illusion. You must learn to live in the present and accept yourself for what you are now. What you lack in flexibility and agility you must make up with knowledge and constant practice.
Bruce Lee
Image
Like everyone else, you want to learn the way to win, but never to accept the way to lose - to accept defeat. To learn to die is to be liberated from it. So when tomorrow comes you must free your ambitious mind and learn the art of dying!
Bruce Lee
Image
Effort within the mind further limits the mind, because effort implies struggle towards a goal and when you have a goal, a purpose, an end in view, you have placed a limit on the mind.
Bruce Lee
Image
Willing is not enough, one must apply.
Bruce Lee
Image
Nothingness cannot be defined the softest thing cannot be snapped.
Bruce Lee
Image
Put every great teacher in a room, and they'd agree about everything, but put their disciples in there and they'd argue about everything.
Bruce Lee
Image
You must be shapeless, formless, like water. When you pour water in a cup, it becomes the cup.
Bruce Lee
Image
When we hold to the core, the opposite sides are the same if they are seen from the center of the moving circle. I do not experience I am experience. I am not the subject of experience I am that experience. I am awareness. Nothing else can be I or can exist.
Bruce Lee
Image
But to those who kept saying It can't be done, Never are the victories Or the honors won. But, rather, By the believing, doing kind, While the doubters Watched from far behind.
Bruce Lee
Image
Maturation is the development from environmental support to self-support.
Bruce Lee
Image
Long-term consistency trumps short-term intensity.
Bruce Lee
Image
Let yourself go with dis-ease, be with it, and keep it company. This is the way to be rid of it.
Bruce Lee
Image
A self-willed man has no other aim than his own growth.
Bruce Lee
Image
A good martial artist does not become tense, but ready. Not thinking, yet not dreaming. Ready for whatever may come. When the opponent expands, I contract and when he contracts, I expand. And when there is an opportunity, I do not hit, it hits all by itself.
Bruce Lee
Image
Art is the way to the absolute and to the essence of human life. The aim of art is not the one-sided promotion of spirit, soul and senses, but the opening of all human capacities – thought, feeling, will – to the life rhythm of the world of nature. So will the voiceless voice be heard and the self be brought into harmony with it.
Bruce Lee
Image
Truth has no path. Truth is living and, therefore, changing. Awareness is without choice, without demand, without anxiety in that state of mind, there is perception. To know oneself is to study oneself in action with another person. Awareness has no frontier it is giving of your whole being, without exclusion.
