You just wait. I'm going to be the biggest Chinese Star in the world.
Bruce Lee
Image
Where there is no style, there is no slave. Martial Arts mean honestly expressing yourself. No style. No slave.
Bruce Lee
Image
We have great work ahead of us, and it needs devotion and much, much energy. To grow, to discover, we need involvement, which is something I experience every day - sometimes good, sometimes frustrating. No matter what, you must let your inner light guide you out of the darkness.
Bruce Lee
Image
Anxiety is the gap between the NOW and the THEN. So if you are in the NOW, you can't be anxious, because your excitement flows immediately into ongoing spontaneous activity.
Bruce Lee
Image
I don't believe in getting something for nothing.
Bruce Lee

Zen is not “attained” by mirror-wiping mediation, but by “self-forgetfulness in the existential 'present' of life here and now.” We do not “come”, we “are.” Don't strive to become, but be.
Bruce Lee

Training for strength and flexibility is a must. You must use it to support your techniques. Techniques alone are no good if you don't support them with strength and flexibility.
Bruce Lee
Image
The more relaxed the muscles are, the more energy can flow through the body. Using muscular tensions to try to 'do' the punch or attempting to use brute force to knock someone over will only work to opposite effect.
Bruce Lee
Image
Its not what happens that counts... It's how you react.
Bruce Lee
Image
In order to realize our true self we must be willing to live without being dependent upon the opinion of others.
Bruce Lee
Image
Let the spirit out - Discard all thoughts of reward, all hopes of praise and fears of blame, all awareness of one's bodily self. And, finally closing the avenues of sense perception, let the spirit out, as it will.
Bruce Lee
Image
The core of understanding lies in the individual mind, and until that is touched everything is uncertain and superficial. Truth cannot be perceived until we come to fully understand our potential and ourselves. After all, knowledge in the martial arts ultimately means self-knowledge.

The word superstar is an ilusion
Bruce Lee

Art reaches its greatest peak when devoid of self-consciousn ess.
Bruce Lee
Image
Can you look at a situation without naming it? Naming it, making it a word, causes fear.
Bruce Lee
Image
To understand your fear is the beginning of really seeing.
Bruce Lee
Image
People fear what they do not understand.
Bruce Lee
Image
I am not teaching you anything. I just help you to explore yourself.
Bruce Lee

In order to taste my cup of water you must first empty your cup.

Concentration is the root of all the higher abilities in man.
